To remove the headrest from a BMW 3 Series, use a tool to pry off the panel at the back of the seatback to access the components below. You will find connectors that need to be disconnected to fully free the seatback.

Now, press the side button located on the left side of the headrest support. This will allow you to completely remove the headrest from its housing, enabling you to install the new one by reassembling all the removed parts.
