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!
