To remove the front seat of the BMW 3 Series, first, move the seat forward using the appropriate button until it reaches the end of its travel. At this point, remove the plastic trim by prying it to disengage the clips at the seatbelt insertion point.

Underneath, you will find the bolt that secures the seatbelt; remove it using the appropriate wrench. Now, tilt the backrest forward and locate and remove the two bolts found on the two tracks (at the rear of the seat) on which the seat slides.

Move the seat back to the end of its travel and remove the two bolts on the two tracks (at the front of the seat). At this point, disconnect the wire connected to the airbag located in the backrest (to disconnect it, simply pry with a screwdriver on the black element present in the wire connection, as shown in the video) and you're done!
