To fold down the rear seats of a BMW 3 Series: 1. Pull the handles located on both the left and right sides of the trunk; 2. Return to the cabin and fold down the rear seats. The BMW 3 Series is a mid-size car with the following dimensions: length 4719 mm, width 1827 mm, height 1459 mm, wheelbase 2851 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 59 liters. The BMW 3 Series is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 115 kW at 4500 to 6500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a BMW 3 Series for several years, and folding down the rear seats is actually quite simple, mainly targeting the backrest portion. Most models have a small pull loop or handle at the top of the rear seat backrest, located near the roof. Just pull it to unlock the seat backrest, then easily push it forward to fold down. If you're looking from the trunk side, some models have buttons or pull cords for direct operation. Be careful—before operating, it's best to clear any clutter in the trunk to avoid obstructing the seats. This feature is very convenient for transporting large luggage or carrying equipment for outings, instantly expanding the space. If both seats can be folded down, you can release one side individually, making it flexible and practical. Remember not to pull too forcefully to prevent damage to mechanical components, and regularly checking if the seat latches operate smoothly can extend their lifespan.
