Application and fitment for BMW E87 LCI

The presented seat belongs to the Seats and benches category and was designed specifically for the interior of the facelifted (LCI) BMW 1 Series E87. The design of the seat, rails, and mounting points is adapted to the factory body geometry, which facilitates installation in place of the original seat on the right side of the first row.

The vehicle placement defined as front – right side allows for clear identification of the mounting position and reduces the risk of errors when selecting the part. Thanks to this, the seat can be used as a replacement for the factory seat in case of wear, mechanical damage, or interior upgrades.

Upholstery finish and Alaska Grey color scheme

The upholstery is made of fabric with the Elektra Alaska Grey designation, characteristic of many BMW E87 LCI interior configurations. The grey color provides a neutral, subdued look, blending well with both dark and lighter cockpit elements and door panels.

The fabric surface of the seat and backrest promotes comfort in daily use, providing stable support and breathability. The uniform color scheme facilitates integration with other interior elements, which is important when partially replacing cabin equipment.

Technical and functional characteristics

The front right seat for the BMW E87 LCI has been designed as an OEM component, compatible with factory floor mounting points and the standard interior architecture. The support structure of the seat and backrest is adapted to the loads typical for the first row of seats, ensuring stability while driving.

As a used item, the seat is a reasonable choice for users looking for original BMW components at a more attractive price than new parts. Original BMW origin helps maintain the factory driving character and ergonomics, and also facilitates installation without the need for structural modifications.

Benefits of installing an original BMW seat

Replacing the seat with an original BMW E87 LCI component allows you to restore the visual consistency of the cabin and proper body support while driving. This is especially important during intensive use, when seat wear affects comfort and ergonomics. Factory fitment for the interior minimizes the risk of incorrect installation and unwanted noises while driving.

The grey Alaska Grey upholstery is a good choice for drivers who value a neutral, timeless color scheme and want to maintain the balance between functionality and aesthetics characteristic of BMW. A used seat can also be a base for further interior personalization, e.g., by matching other seats to the same color tone.
