The instructions in this guide will show us how to disassemble and replace the steering wheel and its airbag on the BMW Series 3 in simple steps. First, let's get inside the vehicle and start by removing the airbag from the steering wheel by pushing on the rear holes; then disconnect its electrical connector, as shown in the video.

At this point, we unscrew the central screw of the steering wheel, disconnecting the steering wheel control cables to remove it; we replace the steering wheel with the new one, inserting it correctly, connecting the controls, and finally reassembling the airbag.
