Purpose and Fitment for BMW F-Series

The presented headrest has been specifically designed for the rear seat row in BMW F-series models, in body variants F20, F21, F30, and F31. The supporting structure and mounting spacing are consistent with factory mounting points, which facilitates the replacement of a damaged or missing part without the need for modifications to the upholstery or seatback frame.

Its original origin from the BMW range promotes the preservation of interior stylistic consistency – both in terms of shape, stitching lines, and foam profile. Thanks to this, the headrest integrates well with the other elements of the rear bench seat.

Material and Color Scheme – Coral Red Leather

The upholstery used is leather with a distinct red color, referred to as coral. This shade is characteristic of sportily finished BMW interiors and helps maintain the original, dynamic character of the cabin. The leather surface provides a pleasant tactile feel and is also practical for everyday use – easy to keep clean with standard automotive leather care products.

The headrest color has been matched to the factory BMW interior palette, which is important when replacing a single element in an existing configuration. This allows for an aesthetic restoration of the original rear bench seat appearance without the need to replace the entire set of seats.

Construction and Function of the Rear Center Headrest

As an element intended for the center seat of the rear bench, the headrest serves to support the passenger's head and upper spine. The foam profile and external shape have been adapted to the geometry of the seatbacks in BMW F-series models, promoting stable support during driving.

Key functional features of this headrest include:

• dedicated placement in the rear of the cabin, in the center position,
• construction consistent with factory guides and height adjustment mechanism (if present in the specific vehicle configuration),
• maintaining a uniform line with other rear headrests in BMW F20, F21, F30, F31.

Condition, Service Application, and Benefits of Installation

The part comes from the secondary market, making it an attractive service solution for users seeking original BMW components at a reasonable cost-to-quality ratio. Such a headrest is particularly suitable in situations where:

• the original headrest has been mechanically damaged or lost,
• it is necessary to supplement missing rear bench seat equipment,
• preserving the interior's color and material consistency is a priority.

Installation involves inserting the headrest into the existing seatback guides, which in most cases can be done without altering the seat structure. This makes restoring the full functionality of the rear center seat relatively simple.
