e92 (2011) rear seat removal for trunk access?

hateface · 10-31-2016, 02:45 PM

So I fucked up while replacing the battery and incidentally shut the trunk. Unfortunately I was never notified of a dying battery which I thought the dash would notify for so I got stuck with a dead car. I couldn't get enough juice jumping the car (which was recommended) to get the trunk to open and there is no manual access for a key.

I'd rather not pay the towing fee and pay someone to do the work or break into the trunk so I was wondering if there is a way to remove the rear seats in the coupe to gain trunk access.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response.

Low an behold after fucking with the car earlier today and having no success I was able to go out with a flashlight and get the seats down (even though I tried this earlier today.)

Is there actually no way to pull down the seat from the inside?
