Purpose and compatibility

The presented headrest is dedicated to BMW 5 Series F10/F11 LCI (facelift) models, which featured black Dakota leather upholstery. The component is designed for installation on the front seat, on both the driver's and passenger's side, facilitating a perfect fit for your specific interior configuration. The design maintains factory proportions and shape, ensuring that once installed, the headrest creates a cohesive line with the backrest and seat.

Materials and finish

The upholstery is made of genuine Dakota leather, used as standard in many BMW equipment configurations. The black color scheme allows for seamless integration with most factory interior arrangements, without the risk of shade or texture discrepancies. The leather provides a pleasant-to-the-touch yet durable material that withstands daily use, including frequent height adjustments of the headrest.

Function and ergonomics

The headrest is responsible for stable support of the head and upper spine, which is important for both comfort and passive safety. The profiling has been designed specifically for BMW 5 Series seats to reduce fatigue during long journeys and improve driving posture. By maintaining the original design, it is possible to utilize the full factory range of adjustment, making it easy to tailor settings to the height and preferences of the driver or passenger.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used part

This item comes from the used parts segment, allowing for an economical headrest replacement while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing this solution is beneficial when you want to maintain consistency in materials and color with the remaining seats, without the need to invest in a complete new set. Its original origin translates into a proper fit with the seat guides and adjustment mechanism, which facilitates installation and subsequent operation.

Installation tips and application

Before installation, it is recommended to compare the shape and mounting method with the currently installed headrest to confirm structural compatibility. In most cases, installation involves inserting the pins into the seat guides and locking them into the appropriate working position. Maintaining the original manufacturing standard helps to quickly restore full seat functionality after a collision, mechanical damage, or upholstery wear.
