F30/330e new owner (missing kit and folding rear seats?)

[Nick0]

Hi all,

I picked up a F30 / 330e on Friday, 66 reg from Soper BMW Lincoln; I am completely new to BMW and the 330e, and was in a rush to get away having paid, relying on the salesman to be honest with me, and my statutory right to return it if not happy.

It doesn't have a spare wheel, instead having run flat tyres. When I had a look in the boot yesterday, there was a quite obvious space (see photo) where I think a mini tyre inglator/'slime' kit would go. I am not sure if these have been taken out by the previous owner or not.

Do run flat tyre cars have these fitted as standard?

Also to my shock I found my car does not have fold down rear seats, I searched on here but could not find it having been done, can these be retro fitted?

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Hi Nick

Welcome to the Forum

You can check on one of the BMW Vin Decoder sites to get the build sheet for your car then you will have the answer. If it was included on the build sheet then try the supplying Dealer and ask why it was missing 😁 if it is an BMW AUC car it should be complete and should have been checked.

The rear seat I believe there is a "Load Through" option, quite what would be involved in a retro fit I am not sure. You could check www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box and it will call up your model then search the seat section. It will give some clues I am sure

Enjoy your New Beemer
