Rear seat removal tips?

I have a 2001 with folding rear seats and need to remove the bottom back seat. I have tried the push down, push back then up sequence but no luck. Any tips from someone who has done this?

Thx.

Re: Rear seat removal tips?

i've done it in both my m5, with non-fold down seats and my 528 which had fold down seats. For the bottom cushion, just pull straight up, once they release, pull forward. Pull hard.

Right, like mottati said, pull up HARD. I just removed mine for the first time yesterday. Very easy, no tools required.
