2 Answers
The method to fold up the rear seats in a BMW 2 Series after lowering them is to simply press the switch on the rear seats. The BMW 2 Series models include: BMW 220i, BMW 225i, BMW 225i M, BMW M240i, BMW 240i, and others. Taking the 2018 BMW 220i as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4432mm, width 1774mm, height 1425mm, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. The 2018 BMW 220i is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 136PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 220Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a BMW 2 Series for a while, and the method to fold and stow the rear seats is quite simple: Usually, there's a plastic pull tab or release handle on the outer shoulder or back of the seat. Gently pull it by hand, and it will automatically return to its original position. Don't use too much force to avoid damaging the internal mechanism. If it gets stuck, you can first adjust the seat angle or gently push the back to help it return. BMW's design is very user-friendly, and this feature is convenient for daily use, especially when restoring the seat position after loading large luggage. Remember to ensure that no debris is blocking the pull tab before operating, as developing this habit can extend the seat's lifespan. The position may vary slightly with different configurations, but the principle is the same—try it a few times, and you'll get the hang of it.
