To remove the glove compartment from the front passenger side of the BMW 3 Series, open the compartment to access the screws that secure it from the inside. Loosen and completely remove the two screws that hold it in place at the top. After removing these two screws, detach the side clips that secure the compartment in its housing.

Once these clips are removed, you can fully slide out the compartment, allowing you to insert a new one. The new compartment should be secured with screws at the top and the side clips.
