How to Remove the Rear Seats from a BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Seat

To remove the rear seats from a BMW 3 Series, you need to detach the pins located at the front of the seat bench so that it can be lifted and removed from its housing. Once the seat bench is detached, you can also unclip the pins that secure the backrest at the top, allowing it to be completely removed.
