    How to manually power front seats

    Hello I have a BMW 530i E60 that I need to manually move the front seats back. I was in an accident so I have no power to move front seats back to get the bolts out so I can remove the seats from the car.

    This doesn't seem to be possible.
    You'll have to get an external power supply and connect it directly to the seat's cables (can't tell you where they are).

    The seat cables to the motors are flexible, you can pop them out and manually turn the cables. It’s slow, and tedious, but it’s possible.
