Front seat removal

I just bought this for a long road trip and can't seem to find the front seat bolt. If I move the seat all the way forward, I see the two rear bolts, but when I go all the way back, I can't see them. I only need to get access to the passenger side bolt that is nearest the console. TIA.
Sorry, I have a 2020 X5 M50i

Looks like the screws are under the rail trim. Here are the procedures for removing the seat.

Maybe my post wasn't clear enough. It's going on the front passenger seat so that whilst I'm driving, my wife can shop for 8 hours.

Thanks to TURTLEBOY for the info. I was able to remove the front seat rail trim. However it's not as simple as the illustration. The trim does need to be opened on both sides, but then the right side (facing the seat) has to be pushed down as there is a clip that hugs the bottom rail.
Thanks for the help.

Surely make her hold the tablet. It will slow the shopping down! 🤣

The link does not work anymore, can you repost? I need to remove my seats so I can replace the subs.

Thanks

That site had to be taken down so no more info like that is available for free.
