Part: Instrument cluster

As you can see in this tutorial, replacing the instrument cluster in a BMW 3 Series is a very simple and quick operation. First, ensure that the key is not in the ignition for safety. Next, locate the two screws on the upper inner edge of the cluster and remove them using a T20 Torx wrench. Once this is done, grasp the cluster, pull it towards you, and extract it from the dashboard.
