Please compare the colour, leather type, headrest shape and mounting posts with your original before purchasing.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The front head restraint mounts into the upper section of the seat backrest using the factory guide posts.
Its functions include:
• Supporting the occupant’s head and neck
• Providing correct head-restraint positioning
• Forming part of the vehicle’s occupant protection system
• Maintaining the original BMW seat appearance
• Providing height adjustment through the seat-mounted guides
• Completing the front seat assembly
Correct adjustment of a head restraint is important for occupant protection, particularly during a rear impact.
COMMON REASONS FOR REPLACEMENT
Replacement may be required due to:
• Original headrest missing
• Leather torn or damaged
• Excessive leather wear
• Scratches or marks
• Damaged mounting posts
• Internal headrest damage
• Replacement front seat supplied without headrest
• Interior colour conversion
• Restoration of an E92 interior
• Replacement following accident damage
IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION
BMW changed E92 headrest specifications during production.
For example, BMW catalogue data shows different Dakota leather headrest numbers before and after certain 2008/2009 production changes. (RealOEM)
Therefore, please compare:
• Leather colour
• Leather type / upholstery code
• Headrest shape
• Mounting-post spacing
• Mounting-post design
• Vehicle production date
• Standard / Sport seat specification
• Listing photographs
• OE number if available
STANDARD / SPORT / M3 SEAT INFORMATION
Do not assume that every E92 front headrest is interchangeable.
BMW offered several different seat and upholstery configurations.
In particular, E92 M3 headrests can use different OE numbers and Novillo leather specifications. For example, BMW lists dedicated M3 Novillo leather headrests in Black, Fox Red, Palladium Silver and Bamboo Beige. (RealOEM)
Therefore, an M3 application should only be advertised where the headrest specification has been positively matched.
INSTALLATION
Installation is straightforward on a compatible seat.
The headrest posts slide into the existing guides at the top of the seat backrest.
Programming Required: No
Coding Required: No
Diagnostic Adaptation Required: No
IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE
Please check the listing photographs carefully before purchasing.
For this item, compatibility should primarily be determined by:
BMW E92 Coupé
Front seat application
Leather type and colour
Headrest design
Mounting posts
Vehicle production date
Do not rely solely on “BMW E92” when ordering, as different upholstery and headrest versions were fitted throughout production.
If your existing headrest has a BMW OE number, matching that number is the safest way to confirm exact compatibility.
CONDITION
Used Genuine BMW Part.
As a used leather interior component, normal age-related signs of use may be present, including light marks, creasing or surface wear.
Please inspect all listing photographs carefully for the exact leather colour, stitching, surface condition, mounting posts and overall condition.
