How to remove rear seats - Page 3

I was amazed by the noise of stones hitting the rear arches when I did that, I had a standard exhaust though, you may not be able to hear that over the SS noise solutions

I was as well mate - it's like always driving with track warmed cups on and hearing all the stones being picked up. I don't hear it so much when I press the loud pedal!

It was pretty straightforward taking around 45 minutes and only needed a couple of tools

5 min max without the bolster removal thanks to the instructions

I imagine a tad longer to get back in

found enough money for a pint tonight under the seats

Yep longer to put back in and harder on the back

What you doing wrong? I find it just as quick

I put the seat belts up side down and had to start again

dont take the p - - s easily done, I would have thought they would of mounted facing up but its down and then loop up into the seat position

and they are harder to manoeuvre in, for me anyway

back to quieter road driving

although great for track days

Do you know what is you weight repartition without the rear seats ?

Hi all,

I'm desperatly trying to find the BMW part number for this torx bolt in the picture below.

I've looked on the parts system and it only lists a hex bolt, which I ordered but was wrong.

Can anyone help wih this?
