How to remove the front wiper motor of a BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Windshield wipers

Before starting, it will be necessary to open the front hood of our BMW 3 Series. Let's start by removing the air filter, simply unhooking the fastening hooks, and then removing the air filter itself. Once this is done, we will have to go and unhook the hooks of the cable cover, and then lower them. At this point, we will have to unscrew the screws that secure the air filter housing, and then remove it. Once we have removed it, we will have reached the wiper motor. We then proceed by going to remove the front wipers. At this point, we can unscrew the fixing bolts of the motor, disconnect the relative pin and finally remove it, and the disassembly will be completed.
