BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Disassembly of the car dashboard

Removing the central dashboard is not a very difficult operation if you have good dexterity and patience. Once the car radio that is in front of us has been removed, the cigarette lighter and the rods that control the air by pulling towards themselves, without too much force being under pressure. Once the screw has been unscrewed, the central plastic will be released and must be removed paying attention to the two tabs that are used for its interlocking. The dashboard must be gently pulled towards yourself, in order to detach it, paying attention to the breaking of the plastic clips that support the clips. The dashboard will thus be completely disassembled.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
