E90 M3s with fold down rear seats

[JPJ]

Does anybody have a feel for what sort of number/percentage of saloon M3s (E90) have been ordered with the fold down rear seat option?

I'm keen on the idea of an M3, and while a coupe might meet the requirement it seems less practical overall for my needs, and a saloon with folding seats would be ideal.

Alternatively, does anyone know if it's possible to retrofit the folding option to an E90 M3?

My E92 has folding rear seats, but i didn't buy it new i'm afraid and so didn't realise it was an option

Think its standard on the E92

Yes, the coupe's always have folding rear seats, it's optional on the saloons.

As for the OP's question, ain't got a scooby................

I suspect a low percentage but don't know the answer.

When I bought my pre- registered e90 in 2009, there were about 45 pre-reg cars put into the network and not one had folding rear seats.

I have recently bougth an E90 M3 and mine does have the folding seat option. Of the 4 or 5 cars I test drove 2 had the option but I suspect this percentage overstates the actual number that had the option.

Given the number of E90 M3's for sale appears to be drying up (there is now quite a void between the cheap 08 cars and the newer 10/11 plate cars for sale) you may struggle to find one that has it fitted.

Happy hunting.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback/comments and will have to accept my search may take a little while.

It's a great car and worth waiting for one that suits your needs.
