BMW: Trying to remove back seat of car, gas tank, pop sound


Question
I've got an 88 BMW 325iC...determined that the fuel pump is bad and now trying to get back seat off to get to it...Is there a trick to removing seat w/o damaging it?

Answer
Winslow,
 There is no risk of damage, as this is how the seat is designed to be removed.  Grab the bottom of the seat and lift up.  The seat will give a little "pop" sound and lift right up.  There is an inspection plate on the passenger's side, remove this to see the top of the gas tank.
