    Yes. A proper Torx socket. A regular socket will round off the bolt head and you'll be in for an afternoon of fun with drills and grinders.

    a: take out the back seat of course! (and turf the passengers)

    who needs a touring?

    seriously though, these nuts are in there pretty good... should i be using something other than a regular socket?

    a: The trunk fits 3 dead people easy....
    If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...

    black leather heated seats just in time for summer!!!
    preview + this is what i used to have... i like the black on tan but i'm really not sure about the rear seat trim.. i have 3/4 each of a black or tan set of plastric trims.
    thanks for the tip dave- seems i buy a new tool for every new part, and philip don't worry about the scrapyards i picked 'em clean ... let me know what you need i bet i saw it somewhere... actually bought these from lee in ottawa very nice chap with very nice seats thanks man they are great! edit; errr... 'cept i can't get the heat to work...

    Regular socket has always worked ok for me on the seats!

    Errr Only 2 if they don't fold up well (ie if they've been dead a while). You can get 2 adults and 1 child perhaps if u can fold them up neatly. If you take out the carpet and use the armory for extra space maybe you can get two across the back so perhaps 3 is possible.

    They don't usually fold up very well, and if they are bleeding 'n stuff its hard making to turn the task into a fun engineering project...

    Now, where is Fukem5 with one of his topical holiday snaps showing an e34 in the middle east, its trunk loaded with dead peasants... wasn't he down there (on safari in Brunei or something) recently?

    You need to make sure they are fresh.... other wise they don't fold well at all...

    Yea, it is always a tough choice: Kill or Dig. Good body parts are worth so much these days, but freight costs are still a major factor!

    Killing is always the better choice....
