Intended Use and Fitment for BMW E90 / E91

The presented headrest has been specifically designed for the rear center seat in BMW 3 Series E90 and E91 models. The construction, based on factory dimensions, allows for a secure fit in the backrest guides without the need for modifications or adjustments to the mounting points. This ensures the part integrates well with the backrest line, without disrupting the ergonomics of the rear bench.

Construction and Upholstery Material

The headrest belongs to the Other Seat Parts group but serves a crucial functional and aesthetic purpose. The load-bearing core provides adequate rigidity, and the outer layer is made of fabric upholstery, selected for its resistance to abrasion and daily wear. The fabric works well with the original seat upholstery, minimizing texture differences and ensuring a cohesive interior appearance.

Safety and Comfort Function

Its placement in the center position of the rear bench means the headrest is responsible for:

• supporting the head of the passenger sitting in the middle,
• limiting excessive neck movement during sudden braking,
• more even distribution of load on the seat backrest.

This improves the overall comfort of travel on the rear bench, making the center seat more usable on longer journeys.

Characteristics of a Used Part

As a used part, the headrest comes from a dismantled BMW vehicle and retains the original manufacturer's construction. This solution allows for an economical replacement of a missing or damaged part while maintaining the factory standard of workmanship. For many users, this is a sensible compromise between cost and maintaining interior consistency.

How to Select the Correct Headrest by VIN and OEM Number

To ensure the headrest is correctly matched to your BMW's specific equipment version, it is advisable to verify compatibility using the OEM number and interchangeable numbers, as well as the vehicle's VIN.
