[2009 128i convertible e88 n51] How to remove the rear seats both the bench lower sea
For the bench part of the seat just stuff your hand down there and yank up on both sides. Should pop out pretty easily
For upper part of the seats in the rear, unscrew the two bolts at the bottom shown here in green [the circle and arrow at the top of the picture is to show how the seat is "hung" on this metal bracket] Now remove the head rest by giving them an upper cut while holding the push tab in. WARNING head rest may go flying. Now comes the annoying STUPID FUCKING DUMB WAY BMW WANTS YOU TO DO THIS AND MADE IT THIS WAY: use very small flat head screw drivers and go inside the hole where the head rest post or legs were. there will be 2 clips inside each hole and you have to somehow grip the top of this plastic release and pull them into the middle. you need to do this for both holes on each side [so 4 holes in total] once you have pulled them in push up on each side of the plastic so they dont just lock back in place. they should slide up about 6ish inch and then you can pull the seat straight upwards to get it out of the way. This tutorial is prob hard to follow so here is a professional one i found http://www.mods4cars.com/sms/db/smar...all_1er/en.php |

Thank you again, for your words and pics, PLUS the link, which did indeed make it a little clearer. And YES, those little catches in the headrest tubes are a royal pain! |
