How to remove the front seats in the BMW 1 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Seat

In this tutorial we can see how to remove the front seats in the BMW 1 Series, an extremely simple and quick operation. Before proceeding, open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, in order to avoid accidental activation of the airbags. Start by moving the seat all the way back, then locate the two front bolts of the brackets and unscrew them with a Torx T50 key. Move the seat forward, unscrew the additional bolts, remove the indicated cover and unscrew the belt bolt. At this point, all that's left is to disconnect the yellow connector located under the seat and remove the seat from the cabin.
