How to Remove the Dashboard of the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E30 - Years 1982-1992
Part: Dashboard

To remove the dashboard of the BMW 3 Series, first loosen the central nut that secures the steering wheel, then completely remove the steering wheel. Once the steering wheel is removed, proceed to detach the plastic covers around the steering column: this will allow you to unscrew the screws that secure the instrument cluster. By disconnecting the connectors inside, you can completely remove it, followed by the removal of the radio and the central control panel: this way, all the removed panels and components can be replaced with new replacement parts.
