Instructions for Disassembling the Camshaft on BMW 3 Series 330i E46

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006

In this video, you will see how to disassemble the camshaft from the cylinder head on a BMW 3 Series 330i E46; in this case, we will only cover the steps for removing the camshaft, having already removed the cylinder head cover. After removing the cylinder head cover and the timing chain, you can proceed with disassembling the camshaft by unscrewing all the fastening bolts; it is important to take all references to ensure it is reassembled correctly later, without altering the engine timing. Therefore, also disassemble the camshaft housing with the valves, as shown in the video!
