US Cars

srwatters · 12-13-2018, 01:11 PM

Simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Does the US Spec 2019 M2 Competition have the 60/40 fold down rear seats? Not that I'm going to be hauling 2x4s with it, but it would be nice if my long rifle fits for trips to the range...

BTW, my 2011 E90 335i doesn't have that feature and it's a pain!

Yes it does, at least the 2 I've seen in the US both did.

They don't have the pass-through, but they do both fold.

Mine folds took me a while to find how ... is in the trunk the switch ( I was installing my dashcam)

Thanks for the verification. Much appreciated. Now the long wait for February 15th!

doughboy · 12-13-2018, 02:46 PM

Yes, unusually for BMW the seat's fold 60/40 for no cost. Even F10 M5 had to pay extra for that!

If you pay for "through load option" you get 40/20/40 split and centre rear armrest with pop out cupholders (which I treated my daughter to)...

bri1042 · 12-13-2018, 03:56 PM

We didn't have the option of picking the through-load option in the US, as far as I could tell. Weird thing to leave off considering all the things that we had no choice but to have (looking at you, big huge brakes...).

The trunk has plenty of space lol, what size rifle are we talking about?

Maybe tight in a pelican case but I have a 1650 sized one I can try and fit

I shoot a 6.5x47 Lapua precision rifle with a 26" barrel (soon to sport a 9.25" Crux Archangel supressor...

Damn, I don't know shit about guns but that is one beautiful rifle.

sobek305 · 12-13-2018, 05:49 PM

Yea I doubt that would fit in my case lol, longest I have to compare it 16”

In the trunk, two levers on the top.

MR RIZK · 12-13-2018, 06:39 PM

I would opt for the through loading as your get the armrest and also makes it easier to fold the opposing seat if you have a child seat fitted

doughboy · 12-14-2018, 12:19 AM

.. I shoot too, just clays with over&under or semi auto 12g shotguns though.

But the gun slips are 60" long which is too tight for sideways in the boot.

Middle hatch is perfect for that

Smaller coupes have always had that as standard - E46, E36 and E92 certainly - not sure about the 4 series though. The older 6 doesn’t have them as standard, but the boot on that is pretty generous anyway.

I stand corrected! must just be the saloons that don't get them.

Proctor750 · 12-14-2018, 09:26 AM

Lordy look at that glass! She's a beut.

Can confirm folding seats, used them to sleep in car in the alps a few times during ED.

Side Note: Jealous of the Germans and their beer vending machines, parked and slept right next to one...

Not sure why we don't get this 40/20/40 split rear seat option in the US coupes (available in US convertibles & SUVs only) but I wish we did; I would certainly spring for this extra $250 (S465A) option.
