Removing the BMW 3 Series central tunnel

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Dashboard

Let's start with the lower storage drawer and the underlying area of the air vents. These must be removed simply by passing with a plastic lever in all its parts, all around. Do it slowly and the vents will come out, then unplug the connector. Detach the gear lever by pulling it hard, then with the usual lever lift the headset and disconnect the cable. Also disconnect the connector from the lower frame of the gearbox itself and remove the same. Then remove the main plastic from the center tunnel, then the brake lever gaiter and the lever itself. And that's it!

How to Remove the Front Brake Rotor on a BMW X3

Let's see how to remove the front brake rotor on a BMW X3. Position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height for working. Loosen the bolts with a socket wrench or air drill and remove the wheel, then start loosening the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket, using a screwdriver to remove the brake pads. Now remove the caliper bracket and loosen the bolts on the brake rotor (using a Torx screwdriver), pull the rotor towards you to slide it off the wheel hub. Install the new brake rotor with all the associated bolts, tighten the caliper bracket to the rotor and the brake pads, then install the brake caliper, making sure to tighten all the bolts securely. Before mounting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper and then tighten the bolt. Finally, install the wheel with the bolts.
