Purpose and compatibility

The presented headrest is a component from the Other seat parts group and has been designed specifically for BMW 1 Series E81 and E87 models. The design allows for installation on both the left and right sides of the front seats, which facilitates fitting to a specific interior configuration. It is the right choice when you want to maintain the factory seat geometry and ensure the proper operation of the headrest height adjustment mechanisms.

Construction and upholstery material

The headrest features a stable support structure and upholstery made of fabric, selected to match BMW interior finishing standards. The textile material provides:

• comfortable head support during longer drives,
• proper grip – the head does not slide as it might on highly glossy surfaces,
• easier maintenance of visual consistency with other seat elements.

Thanks to the use of fabric, the headrest works well with standard cloth seats, maintaining the uniform character of the cabin.

Function in the seat system

The headrest plays an important role in ergonomics and driving comfort, especially on the front seats. A correctly selected and adjusted component:

• stabilizes the position of the driver's and passenger's head,
• supports the natural alignment of the spine in the seat,
• complements the seat structure, improving the overall feeling of comfort.

Replacing a worn or missing headrest with an original BMW part allows you to maintain the structural integrity of the seat and the interior aesthetics in accordance with the manufacturer's design.

Characteristics of the used product

The offered headrest is a used component, which in practice means it comes from disassembly and may show signs of normal wear. For many BMW users, this is a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the original look of the interior – especially in the case of post-accident repairs, interior reconstruction, or supplementing missing seat components.
