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.

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.
