How do you remove the glove box from the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Glove compartment

In order to remove the glovebox from the front passenger side on the BMW 3 Series, you need to open the glovebox so that you have access to the screws that secure it from the inside. It will be necessary to loosen the two screws that fix it in its upper part, removing them completely; after removing these two screws, it will be necessary to detach the side hooks that fix the drawer inside its seat. When these hooks have also been removed, it will be possible to completely remove the drawer, so that a new one can be inserted: this must be suitably fixed with the screws in the upper part and the side hooks.
