Purpose and fitment for BMW E90 LCI

The backrest has been designed specifically for the rear seat of the E90 body style after the facelift (LCI), ensuring it maintains factory proportions, shape, and mounting points. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle ensures full integration with the standard seat structure, facilitating installation and allowing for the preservation of original seat geometry.

This component comes from the BMW equipment line, which is why its form, embossing, and seam lines are consistent with the factory design of the 3 Series interior. This is a particularly beneficial solution when replacing a damaged backrest or restoring a car to a condition close to its original factory configuration.

Material and upholstery characteristics

The backrest is made of leather upholstery, which translates to higher durability during use compared to fabric and easier maintenance. The brown-toned leather creates a cohesive, elegant color accent that blends well with typical BMW E90 LCI interior finishes.

The material structure promotes comfort during long journeys while maintaining the slightly sporty seat profile characteristic of BMW. It is a practical choice for cabin upgrades when you want to combine durability, aesthetics, and compliance with factory finishing standards.

Condition, functionality, and application

The backrest comes from the used parts segment, which allows for optimized repair or interior upgrade costs while maintaining the original origin of the component. This type of component is particularly useful in situations where the existing backrest has been mechanically damaged, worn out, or requires replacement following bodywork repairs.

Replacing the rear seat backrest with an original BMW component allows you to maintain the consistency of the upholstery lines, improve the overall appearance of the rear cabin, and prepare the interior for further detailing work, such as cleaning, leather conditioning, or the installation of additional accessories.

Benefits of choosing an original BMW backrest

• Factory fitment – preservation of original geometry and mounting methods in the rear interior.
• Consistent aesthetics – brown leather integrates well with other BMW E90 LCI interior components.
• Practical cabin refresh – a quick way to improve the visual condition of the rear seat without the cost of full upholstery.
• Reasonable cost/quality compromise – a used OEM component instead of expensive new interior trim.
