How do you replace the heating radiator of the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Heater core

The procedure for replacing the heating radiator on the BMW 3 Series involves completely disassembling the dashboard: you will need to start by loosening the screws that secure the panels around the steering column, then removing the steering wheel and all the trim on the passenger side. Then, using a lever, you can detach the covers of the central tunnel and the central control panel: by removing all these components, it will be possible to loosen the support bolts of the heating radiator and disconnect the pipes. In this way, you will be able to insert the new radiator and reassemble all the removed parts.
