    Default Do the e39 or e38 have folding down seats?

    I've just come back from the shops with a huge table sitting next to me in my e34 which was too wide to put in sideways and had to take out the front seat. So I was thinking when i do get a few more buck to buy a new car i would like with folding seats rather than a metal panel. So just want to know about these two cars as theyre possibility in the near future.

    I dont believe the 7's came with them. They are a rare option on the E39 i know.

    The guy who sold me the 540 I got two days ago didn't even know they were on the car. I didn't know it until I happened to find the original window sticker and found the line item for them. What a fantastic option for $475. It's hard to believe that they don't all have it. Much more useful than Xenon headlights IMO.

    same with my previous owner, i folded them down when i was looking at it and he freaked out.

    Man - I think you need to spend more money on your house and less on the car.
