Rear seat gap

Hi all,
As I was cleaning the car today I noticed a gap between the passenger side rear seat and the side bolster. The gap looks too large, I can see right through to the boot, even get my hand into the boot, I have a 3 door m135. Could anyone do me a favour a have a look at what they have gap wise?

Thanks
Lee

A photo would help so we can look at the exact area but the seat was fully locked upright wasn't it?

Sometimes if you have dropped them they don't quite click in when you put them back so could leave a gap.

Looks normal to me, to be honest.

Given the diameter of the steering wheel, perhaps they didn't expect anyone with such small hands to be driving these

Is it the same both sides?? If not then I'd think it isn't right.

Most cars have some holes to the trunk to ventilate the car.

Thanks all,
Got it checked out today,
Dealer removed side bolster and a couple of locating clips weren't aligned correctly,
3mins work and was how it should have been.

Glad to hear it's sorted!

I keep hearing how bad BMW's dealers are supposed to be in the UK but I personally haven't had a single negative experience at my local one...

[...Schadenfreunde when I hear the many tales of woe my friend has had of his audi dealer!]
