How to dismantle the front seat of the BMW 5 Series

Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Seat

Following these short steps, we will see how to disassemble and possibly replace the front seat of the BMW 5 Series. First, we open the front door and begin to remove the plastic covers that we find on the seat rails; then we use a torx key or screwdriver to unscrew all the screws, moving the seat back and forth to access them, as shown in the video. At this point, we disconnect all the wiring of the adjustments and the airbag to remove it from the cabin, applying the reverse process for reassembling the seat!
