Retrofitting rear folding seats?

[AlonzoHarris]

Hi

After searching for a while, I finally found a pre-facelift W212 E63 with the Biturbo with all of my spec requirements (Drivers & Performance Pack) bar one thing....rear foldable seats! Rather than waiting for the perfect car that might never appear, I bit the bullet and bought despite it not having the rear folding seat option.

I was just wondering if anyone here knew whether it was possible to somehow retrofit rear folding seats, and if so is it a massive/costly job?

Thanks.

It was certainly possible on earlier models (I've done it) and I'd be surprised if not possible on the 212. Cost will largely depend on whether you can find used parts. Otherwise you're going to be into low four figures.

Thanks for that. Very helpful.
I fear the costs will be too prohibitive sadly. Oh well, estate version next then!
