I think the lower part of the rear seat can be removed when the car is optioned with foldable rear seats. You can see the hinge at the bottom of the seat.

Really, with the metal chrome accents and everything? I think it's one of the most beautiful fobs for any car...

This is the correct answer...but normally you don't have to remove the seat from it's fixation.

Re: AutoBild: 530i vs E350

I don't know how it works for Mr. Bronke, but here in Canada BMW has better "garantie" than MB and we are getting much better service with BMW Canada (this is not only my opinion , I have two friends mechanics, one working for BMW and other for MB). Regarding price, bimers are about 20-25% less expensive then MB, in appearence 530i should got dubble pts. Resumming 530i is definely a big winner in Canada.

Its the damn category "Garantie" that bimmers always get low points in this carmag.
The ultimate test lies in sales figures.
Although Carmags influence sales in some ways but ultimately it is the sales story that presents the true picture.

That's what I was going to say. BMW has a better maintenance program here in the US than MB and Audi. That's a very strong selling point for these cars.

Re: AutoBild: 530i vs E350

In Sweden BMW offer free service for 3 years or up to 800000 km, thats generous and not offered from MB.
