How to Fold Down the Rear Seats in a BMW 3 Series?
2 Answers
To fold down the rear seats in a BMW 3 Series, follow these steps: 1. Open the trunk; 2. Locate the rear seat release buttons on both sides inside the trunk; 3. Gently pull the switch to release the seatback; 4. Push the seatback down by hand. Taking the BMW 3 Series 2021 320i as an example: it is a mid-size sedan with 4 doors and 5 seats. The dimensions of the BMW 3 Series 2021 320i are 4719mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1459mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2851mm. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It features rear-wheel drive, with a front suspension using a double-joint spring strut front axle and a rear suspension employing a multi-link independent suspension.
When I first bought my car, I wasn't quite sure how to fold down the rear seats of my BMW 3 Series either. After trying a few times, I got the hang of it. Open the rear door and sit directly on the back seat. Look down near the top of the seatback—there's a small pull strap or button. Give it a firm tug, and you'll hear a 'click' sound indicating it's unlocked. Then, you can push the seatback forward, and it will lay flat smoothly, creating one large space connected to the trunk. I love road trips, and folding the seats this way makes it easy to fit a large suitcase or tent—super convenient. Just remember not to rush the process; the pull strap might be a bit tight at first. Try a few times, and you'll get it. If it doesn't work on the first try, checking the pictures in the owner's manual will make it clearer.
