Instructions for Removing Rear Seats

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Seat

Removing the rear seats is extremely simple. Start by removing the center armrest, which must be flipped up and then pulled out from its housing. Next, free the edge of the cover of the center cushion and grasp the front of the seat cushion, pulling it firmly upward to detach and remove it from the cabin. At this point, remove the fastening pins of the support brackets for the backrest and those for the seat belts. Then, grasp the backrest from the sides to detach it and complete the removal.
