Where to be careful when removing the BMW Z4 steering column?
Years 2002-2008

Answer

If you have to disassemble the steering column of the BMW Z4 E89 you must first of all arm yourself with patience as you will have to remove various elements of the dashboard and take into account that the connection between the steering column and the steering box is located in the engine compartment; after disassembly, great care must be taken not to rotate the steering column shaft as the torque sensor located in the center of the steering column has a spiral ring (airbag tape type) and the steering wheel angle sensor is present in the rear part.
