BMW Repair: BMW 325i drivers seat, bmw 325i, reclined position

Question
The motor works in my drivers seat and all directions except raising the back
of the seat up. All of a sudden my seat recline, but will not come up. It is
stuck in the reclined position... help! I am a student and cannot afford a new
seat. I tried taking the seat out of the car to work on it but the tools that BMW
gave me in my trunk, the pipe used for the allen rench is too long to unscrew
the inside bolts nearest to the console. Can you help?

Answer
Well your first step in this repair as it is in college is to buy a book.From bavarian Autosports(1-800-535-20020 you can get an excellent manual.Then you need to purchase an inexpensive socket/wrench set.A test light(to check to see if you have power to each seat control at the switch)You may need a soldering iron and solder/wire and most important tape.Your wires maybe corroded internally(the casing will be bumpy and the wire will be green inside the casing)so you may have to replace some of the wire.To take the seat  out you do have to move it forward or back to get the bolts.Best bet is the rear first then the front.remember to unplug the connecters when taking the seat out and disconnect the seat belt as well.
