How to replace the rain sensor in the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E90, E91 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the rain sensor in the BMW 3 Series, a very simple and quick operation. To do this, we will need a preferably plastic spatula so as not to leave any marks. First of all, we completely lower the interior rearview mirror, then we unhook the cover of the base by levering along the central joint. Once completely removed, we can detach the mirror, disconnect the sensor connector, and unlock the fixing clips. To install the replacement, it will be sufficient to follow the reverse procedure.
