Today, we will show you a not-so-simple operation, which is the removal of the rear seats on a BMW E34. First, to extract the rear seat cushion from its position, simply pull up by hand near the central hole clearly shown in the video. Similarly, removing the headrests is very easy and consists of pulling them upward.

Unscrew the bolts that secure the seats to the car and lift the backs out of their position. Proceed in reverse until complete reassembly.
