How to disassemble the BMW 3 Series steering wheel trim and button panel

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Steering wheel

In this short and simple guide we will see how to disassemble and replace the BMW 3 Series steering wheel frame and button panel. First of all, we get on board the car and begin disassembling the steering wheel, first removing the airbag (disconnecting the electrical connector that we find on the back); we then unscrew the central screw to remove our steering wheel. At this point let's unscrew the screws that we find on the back of the steering wheel and inside it (located on the sides), in order to remove the plastic cover and the push-button panel; we carry out the electrical connection of the new push-button panel and put everything back together!
