Dashboard Removal - BMW E30 DIY Project ep17

[@selespeed3]

well, you just have to lower the steering column by loosening the two bolts below the steering column. that is it. there is no need for you to remove the covers

Thanks! I had no idea the steering column can be lowered

It's been a long time!

Very helpful series. What happened to the e30?

[@PorchGarage]

@@chau7825 thanks! It’s still a work in progress, but on the back burner for a while. I’ve actually done a lot of welding & rust repair, but there’s a lot further to go. Will probably have new videos on that by mid 2025.

So what really holds dash? The bolts on side by a pillar? Just asking because I don’t need to remove the dash just needed to lift it a little to do some wiring work

[@PorchGarage]

Yes and the two metal clips just above the bolts, which just slide off. I don't remember anything else, but you might have to unlatch the glove box at least; and keep an eye on the ECU area in case anything gets snagged. But my memory is poor so don't rely on it 100% 😅

@@PorchGarage ok thanks, how long will it take to remove the dash from car?
