Will be picking up the car in Florida and driving back to Texas. I found some good seats I'd like to pick up on the way. Does anyone know if the two front seats will fit in the back with the back seat all the way down? Thanks in advance guys, -L | | | 04-15-2008, 06:09 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,895 | Welcome. I've never done it, but I just looked at my car and I would say two buckets in the hatch would be an easy fit. __________________ ... ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ | | | 04-15-2008, 06:33 PM | #3 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | When I first read the title of this thread, I thought you wanted to INSTALL front seats in the back. That's obviously not going to happen. But, yeah, you should be able to get two seats in there. Worst case scenario, you can't close the hatch all the way. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

If the seats are folded over forward and there's pressure pushing down on the seatback (i.e., if they barely fit and you squeeze them), my thought is you'll crush the kidney pads... esp. for a long period of time, I would avoid this as it will damage the foam, and probably wrinkle the leather. Or, instead of folding the seats forward, you could recline them as far as possible, and try to fit them in that way... interesting predicament! __________________ 1/1997 M44 ti M-Sport Schwartz II | | | 04-15-2008, 07:16 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | i would fold the seats all the way back. fodl the rear seats down. slide your passenger seat all the way forward then recline the seat all the way back then put on seat on the passnger seat foam side down and buckle it in with the seat belt. then the other in the back __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 04-15-2008, 10:01 PM | #6 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Dude, I drove home from last Saturday's SoCal meet with a hood in my cargo area! It fit fine, hatch closed completely and I wasn't even crunched at all. I'd say a pair of seats would fit with ease, no disassembly required. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 04-15-2008, 10:14 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | yep! these things have more storage than a damn limo! __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 04-15-2008, 11:45 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | + 1 I've moved an entire extra interior in mine. __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 04-15-2008, 11:49 PM | #9 | Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Austin, TX Posts: 80 | Awesome, thanks for the replies.
