How to replace the steering wheel of the BMW 3 Series E46 version

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Steering wheel

In this video we can see how to replace the standard steering wheel of a BMW 3 Series E46 version with a three-spoke sporty model. First of all (after disconnecting the negative pole of the battery) we put the steering wheel in a vertical position so that we can access the two holes that allow us to remove the airbag, disconnect the plugs and then unscrew the steering wheel with a 16 socket; pay attention to the centering notch that will be used to reposition the new steering wheel; we do not give you an indication for the purchase of the steering wheel, because it is a very personal taste; generally, steering wheels are supplied without airbags, so it is easier to mount them compared to the video, because you just need to align the centering notch and then position the airbag with the method we used to remove it, that is with the torx key positioned in the two side holes of the steering wheel.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
