Water in back seat of M3
So went to train last night and placed my water bottle in the back seat with my bag. Main cap was tight but failed to check the drinking spout. In the journey the bottle tipped over and when I pulled it out almost all had dumped into the crease between the back and the bottom of the seat. I couldn't see any water but know it's in there somewhere. Do I need to go chasing it down or will it drain out somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, it's just clipped in, mate
The backseat might need some drying too

Awesome. Thanks. I assume the seat heater connection will be self explanatory when I get in there? I'll give it a go in a bit.

You will see it. Grab the corner of the bottom cushion closest to the front of the car and pull up. It's not a terribly strong clip. You may not even need to pull it all the way out. Just pop it up and wipe it out and give it a good smack with your palm to reseat it

Just following up. Thanks for all the guidance, it was easy to pull up the seat bottom and I left the wires connected. One observation, I found pulling up in the center of each of the rear seats (where the clips are located) worked better for me than the corner. Also, there wasn't much to wipe up as the water had soaked into the foam on the seat bottom and the black felt on the floor. I left the seat propped up with doors open in sunny dry weather for a couple days and was fine. While removal was pretty easy, reinstall action provided a little more challenge. Specifically getting the seat belt buckles back up through the slots - for the two hard mounted primary ones. I found a long straight slot screw driver fed down through the front part of the seat bottom so the buckle was pressed against the back of screw driver helped to guide it up through. Overall straight fed. Thanks again!

Just to confirm though... when you spilled the water your car didn't put itself in drive and crash into a concrete barrier?
