How to Remove the Front Seat of a BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Seat

In this video, you will learn how to remove the front seat of a BMW. First, slide the seat forward using the dedicated black button. Pull the plastic cover plate gently with your hand without breaking the guides of the piece. Using a Torx screwdriver, remove the bolts located on the seatbelt plate. Move to the rear of the cabin and remove the bolts on the seat tracks until they are completely removed, using a cordless drill for efficiency. Return to the front and slide the seat all the way back electrically to access the front locking bolts on the track. Once done, disconnect the yellow power connector located under the seat with a screwdriver. Lift the seat and pull it out of the cabin.
