Purpose and vehicle function

The presented airbag is designed for installation in the front right seat of BMW E81/E87 series vehicles. This component is responsible for side impact protection for the passenger's torso area during side collisions, working in conjunction with other SRS system components. Thanks to its factory design, the airbag integrates seamlessly with the original seat frame and the vehicle's electrical wiring.

Design parameters and color

The airbag is designed as a side seat module, mounted within the seat structure on the door side. The grey cover color allows for an aesthetic match with typical upholstery configurations used in the BMW E81 and E87, facilitating a consistent interior look after repairs. The airbag construction is optimized for rapid deployment and targeted side protection.

Condition and service application

The airbag is a used component, which allows for an economical repair of the safety system while maintaining original BMW specifications. This type of component is particularly useful for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged side seat module, or restoring full SRS system functionality after other airbags have deployed. Verification of compatibility with the specific vehicle equipment version is recommended before installation.

Benefits of using an original seat airbag

Using a factory side seat airbag in a BMW E81/E87 ensures:

• preservation of the side protection characteristics designed by the manufacturer,
• proper cooperation with crash sensors and the SRS control unit,
• color consistency with the grey interior finish,
• easier installation due to a design compatible with the original seat.

For workshops and service centers specializing in the BMW brand, this is a practical solution that allows for efficient repairs in the area of passive safety.
