Removing the front seat of a BMW 3 Series? It's a fairly simple operation. Move the seat back (using the electric buttons if available) and raise the seat cushion. Then, use a socket wrench to remove the fastening bolts located on the front rail. Once the bolts are removed, move the seat forward using the adjustment buttons and remove the fastening pins from the rear of the rail. Disconnect the power connectors.
