Method to fold down the rear seats of a BMW 320li: 1. Open the trunk; 2. Locate the rear seat release buttons on both sides of the trunk (shaped similar to a door switch); 3. Pull the switch; 4. The seat back can then be folded down with a gentle push. The BMW 320li is a mid-size sedan under BMW Brilliance, with body dimensions of 4829mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1463mm in height, a wheelbase of 2961mm, and a top speed of 226km/h. It features a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure, equipped with a 2.0T 156-horsepower L4 engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a BMW 320Li for several years, and folding down the rear seats has become second nature to me. Typically, you need to sit in the back seat and carefully look at the top of the seatback, where you'll find a small pull loop or button, usually located near the edges on both sides. Gently pull that loop outward, then push the seatback with your hand, and it will smoothly fold down. The BMW 320Li's rear seats are designed in a 40:60 split ratio, allowing you to fold down either the left or right side separately or both together, which is particularly handy for increasing trunk space when transporting large items. I often use it for suitcases or sports equipment, but remember to handle it gently—avoid using excessive force, as it can easily jam the internal hinges. If the seat refuses to budge, try rocking the car slightly or adjusting the seat position; it might just be a minor obstruction. Additionally, regularly clean the pull loop area to prevent dust buildup from affecting its flexibility. After folding down, ensure items are securely fastened for safer driving—a practical tip I've learned from experience.
