Does anyone have access to a Parts or Repair CDROM that would show the removal or parts layout of the rear folding seats and the rear side arm rest panels? If so could you post pics/detail here?? thanks!

go get yourself an E46 Bentley manual! =) I'm pretty sure the procedures are the same for the M3 and E46 coupe.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to remove the seats?

Thanks for the info! Yes car has a cage in it and I need to remove some weight for the class that I racing in.

I sure would like to get my hands on the rear seat replacement platform that BMW shows in the CSL.

I need something to either protect the bottom custon (if i don't remove it, just the rear fold down back rest) or the cables/wires under the rear seat, as I load up the car for going to the track ... hhmmmm

Post some pics of your car! :thumb:

Are you turning your M3 into a BMWCCA or SCCA club race car? What class will it be in?
