Replacing the remote control battery on the BMW 3 Series E46 - X3 E83

Model: BMW X3 E83, MK 1 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Key

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the key remote control battery on the BMW 3 Series E46, but also on the X3 E83 (first series). First we take our diamond key in our hands and we go to pry the sides with something thin in order to open the remote control, thus separating it into two parts; in this way we will access the battery compartment, which we will remove, as shown in the video. At this point we remove the battery and replace it with the new one, of the right type (in this case a 3V LIR 2025); we just have to reassemble everything!

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500L

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
