Used BMW Backrest / Recline Motor with OEM part number 8251618. This genuine used motor controls the seatback angle adjustment for the front left seat. It was removed from a donor vehicle and is a direct replacement for the original equipment part. When this motor fails, the seatback may stop moving or only adjust in one direction, requiring manual effort to reposition. It fits multiple BMW models including the 3 Series and X5 with various inline-six and V8 engines.
