I just realized I could not figure out how to fold down my rear seats and could not find any directions in the handbook? It's not the same as the 3 series which is more obvious. Anyone know where the mechanism is to unlock both seats to fold down? There is a 30/60 split so I know it's supposed to and I paid for them!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Open your trunk and you'll see two handles for releasing the rear seats backrests.
Just pull them once and the backrests are unlocked, then just pull them down to the front...

I like this setup better than the E39, by the way...

It's a little more secure but it's also less hassle not having to individually lock them to protect the contents of the trunk.
Of course the ski bag cassette still allows access to the trunk without any ability to secure it...

JDN,
You're right, the levers are not obvious. I was looking too far into the trunk when they were so conveniently located near the trunk opening. I was not expecting them to be so far back from the seat back. Instructions for mine were on page 100 of my manual.
Thanks again!

Oops! That was me forgetting to log in! BTW I really don't like the looks or the feel of that center seat belt strap. I would imagine it's uncomfortable to sit against. Also the stowage clip on the rear deck seems like an afer-thought - when stowing the seatbelt away while the seats are folded down.
