BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Central tunnel
Operation: How do you remove the BMW 3 Series central tunnel?

In order to remove the central tunnel from the BMW 3 Series, you need to start by removing the ashtray which is located immediately behind the armrest: this will allow you to access the underlying screws which will need to be loosened. In this way the central part of the panel can be removed and by accessing all the screws underneath it will be possible to remove the rear part of the tunnel as well. It will therefore be possible to proceed by detaching the front part of the tunnel: this can be removed by lifting the gear lever gaiter and levering from inside its housing. By detaching all the internal clips and the underlying connectors, it will be possible to remove all the panels that make up the console, replacing them with new pieces.

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.
