BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Cigarette Lighter
Operation: How do you remove the cigarette lighter of the BMW 3 Series?

In order to remove the cigarette lighter of the BMW 3 Series, you have to remove the gear knob and also remove the leather cover that wraps the gear lever, disengaging its retaining clips. Subsequently, the internal part of the gearbox must also be removed, so as to be able to push the piece containing the cigarette lighter from the inside. In addition to pushing from the inside, it will be necessary to pry with a screwdriver to facilitate its extraction: this will be easier after removing the watch. At this point it will be possible to remove the piece containing the cigarette lighter, which must be disconnected from its connector and can therefore be replaced.
