If your car has this option, then there will be two levers (above) in the trunk. If you pull it, you can put the seats down

You will only be able to do this if you have the Through Load Option with the split seats. Otherwise you have fixed seats.

This is one of those options where I feel BMW are taking the p*ss. This is standard on most cars.

Blackberry, maybe?

To the OP, you could try a lot of finger waiving and harsh insults at the seat.

I don't remember where I read it, but I recall BMW not liking pass through to remain rigitity and reduce flex in the vehicle. Does anyone recall this info?
