How do you dismantle the dashboard of the BMW 1 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 1 E82, MK 1, E87, E81 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Dashboard

To disassemble the dashboard of the BMW 1 Series, you need to pry it with an object like a screwdriver, so that you can completely detach the trim along the entire dashboard: once this has been detached, you can proceed by loosening the screws underneath that secure the central control panel and the upper central screen. These can be removed by disconnecting the connectors inside, in order to proceed by detaching all the other dashboard panels: this way you can insert the new replacement panels, making sure that everything works.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
