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?

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.

So what are operating hours of scrapyards around Montreal ?
q: how do you get seating for 7 in an e34 sedan?
a: The trunk fits 3 dead people easy....
If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...

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.Originally Posted by dacoyote
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?

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!Originally Posted by dacoyote

Regular socket has always worked ok for me on the seats!Originally Posted by DaveVoorhis
Improperly applied to an external Torx could perhaps be the only good use for a twelve point socket.
