Purpose and BMW compatibility

The presented headrest is designed for the front seats of BMW 1 Series E81/E87 LCI (facelift) models in the Sport trim. The construction is adapted for installation in the front of the cabin, which allows for maintaining the original seat ergonomics and the characteristic sporty look of the BMW interior.

Thanks to its factory origin, the headrest works with standard rails and the height adjustment mechanism, which facilitates installation and subsequent adjustment of the head support position.

Material and color scheme

The headrest finish is maintained in an elegant black color, which matches most BMW E81/E87 LCI Sport interior configurations. The upholstery is made of durable material, selected for its resistance to daily use and ease of cleaning. The material used harmonizes well with factory seats, maintaining consistency in texture and shade.

The black color reduces the visibility of minor dirt and wear, which is particularly important in cars used intensively, both in city traffic and on longer routes.

Function, ergonomics, and safety

The headrest plays a key role in terms of comfort and passive safety. When properly adjusted, the component helps reduce strain on the cervical spine during sudden braking or collisions, and also stabilizes the head position during longer drives.

• Factory geometry ensures proper neck and head support.
• Height adjustment allows for adaptation to the user's height.
• Consistent finish improves the overall aesthetics of the cabin.

By maintaining the original design, the headrest contributes to the passenger protection system intended by the manufacturer in the front part of the vehicle.

Condition, origin, and service application

The item comes from disassembly and is offered as a used OEM component, which is a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged headrest, or restoring the completeness of the interior. Choosing an original headrest allows you to maintain factory fitment and visual consistency with other seat elements.

This is a practical proposal for workshops, services specializing in the BMW brand, and individual users who want to restore the original look and functionality of the seats without the need to invest in new components.
