How to Remove the Steering Wheel Airbag from a BMW 3 Series?

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

To remove the steering wheel airbag from a BMW 3 Series, loosen its internal retaining clips. Insert an object like a screwdriver into the holes located at the back of the steering wheel, directly behind the two horizontal spokes. Once these clips are disengaged, the airbag can be pulled out from its housing, and you can disconnect the connector at the back. After the old airbag is removed, connect the new one, ensuring it is secured with its internal clips.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
