BMW Serie 7 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 7 E38, MK 3 - Years 1994-2001
Part: Seat
Operation: Car seat replacement

If we have a bit of manual skills and want to save some money, this guide explains very simply how to replace the seats in a car. Before replacing the seats of a car, we unscrew the bolts that hold them firmly to the floor of the car. If there are electrical cables, they must be unhooked. The third step to take to disassemble the seats of our car is to remove the plastic parts that complete the cushion mounted on the front seat structure. We turn the seat over and unscrew the bolts that join the cushion to the frame. At this point you have to remove the "J" shaped hooks and the headrest. Just press the buttons and, at the same time, slide the element out until it comes out completely.

How do I unlock the automatic transmission of the BMW 3 Series?

In order to unlock the automatic transmission of the BMW 3 Series, the Start / Stop button and the lever release button must be pressed at the same time. This procedure will allow the car gearbox to be unlocked for about 15 minutes, so that in the event of an engine failure, the car can still be moved. It may be necessary to repeat the operation more than once for its success. After unlocking the gearbox, it can return to its original state by simply waiting for the aforementioned 15 minutes, or by pushing the release lever forward for a few seconds.
