Has anyone actually seen an E46 saloon with fold down rear seats?

[MarkDavis]

I don't have any my car, but someone told me that they could be specified as an option. Have seen another 4 cars now and still no sign of fold down rear seats

Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Always thought this was something only found in Hatchbacks - would be interested to hear otherwise.

They're in the coupe as standard and apparently(??) optional on the saloon but can't seem to locate any actual saloons with that option.

Wasn't it a ~£1000 option? Probably very very rare if so.

I *think* the Passat hire car I had would let you do this.

 

[Saytan]

my old cavalier saloon could do it.

I had this in an Alpina B3 that I owned.

It's an optional extra from the factory.

The reason it is so expensive (or so I am led to believe) is that the shell is built differently as there is no metal panel between the seat and the boot, therefore it needs to be strengthened elsewhere.

This also means you can't retrofit them, well it would be a huge job to do it.

My Peugeot 407 does it

 

[jamoor]

My e39 does it.

 

[Howard]

My Accord does too

Why post about other cars doing it?
3 series e36 and e46 generally do not do it.

 

[Maz]

On Merc C Class it's an optional extra.

 

[Tesla]

My mondeo does it

What's the point in posting about other cars?!?

It's an optional extra on the E46 Saloon and was not common. Why are you all telling him about your completely different cars?

As in only though this was an option found in hatchbacks, and he wants to hear otherwise, now i read that as any saloon not BMW specific.

 

[Morba]

with the context of the thread being e46's..
