Here and there...

Hi, I have a 1998 328is and yesterday it appears that something broke on the driver's seat. When I pull up the lever to get the back part of the seat forward to put stuff in the back seat, it doesn't work anymore, the seat will NOT go forward anymore. I pulled the lever up and down and it doesn't seem to catch on anything. So now I can't get to the back seat through the driver's side.

Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks for any help!

I am guessing your seat looks something like this:



I think it would be item 13, the "Bowden cable", however the catalog says that that part is "FOR VEHICLES WITH ELECTRIC ADJUSTING". Does that look right?
