I gave the seats a quick look. Where are the four bolts? lol If the car has no power to move the seats, can i still take them out?

i guess not restore power first so you could move the seats

To move it forward you do not need a battery. Remove the bowden cable from the motor

stick a suitable minus driver of this size into the motor and turn it forward

more sphisticated is to use a power drill tool and a suitable adapter to move it forward
don't forget to disconnect the wire plugs under the seat

Do you own the Bentley Manual? Section 513-1 will walk you through the whole console.

That is for the E32, it will help
