How to disassemble the side pillars of the BMW 5 Series

Model: BMW Serie 5 E61, E60 - Years 2003-2010

Let's discover the main steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the side pillars of the BMW 5 Series. First of all, we get into the car and start by removing the small plastic caps on the side pillars; then we use a key or a Torx T25 screwdriver to unscrew the screws we find inside, as shown in the video. At this point, we lever the pillar, both top and bottom, to remove it, clean it or directly replace it; we apply the reverse process for the reassembly of the side pillars!

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.
