2001 BMW Z3 Climate Control Panel Removal

[@gambarducci]

I would have never thought of drilling a hole and using a screw. I used an m4 machine screw. You saved me a bunch of money, but it's still a pita getting to it. :-D A shop quoted me almost $900 to replace the ac controls This cost me nothing. I otherwise would have had to buy a replacement off eBay and disconnect/reconnect all the wires. You really saved me a bunch of trouble. Thank you, thank you, thank you for a great idea!

Did you just use a screw? I’m worried those sharp threads will did into the cam slide and break it later

[@gambarducci]

I just used a screw. The screw head is all that touched the slide. I don't remember seeing anything that looked like it would rub in a bad way. My biggest concern was the piece I put the screw in. There's good bit of pressure on that screw head when the control is manipulated, and I hope the plastic doesn't break around the screw hole.

I have the same problem with my 2000 Z3. Let me ask you, how was the resistance in the dail for the tempature gage before and after?

i have three plugs in the inner console that i dont know where it goes. One is a 2 pin connector. One of the other connects has sqaure hole in it. And another one is like a 5 or 6 connector pin.

How did you get the stereo removed?

Someone posted on message board that they fixed it without taking the panel off- went through the radio.

Where is that posted?

Watching this without the sound on (circumstance... you've been there) it looks like a fellow who has the gloves and a go-pro on his head learning how this all comes apart, and the tricky bits are just jumped over. After 12 minutes I stopped for a beer. Maybe I'll resume... maybe.
