Below is a video from an
E83 X3, a few people commented that there is
no need to separate the motor, is this true?

...Couple of key points that will help with this: to remove the top star bolts on the servo motor, use an angled socket adapter. This makes life ALOT easier when loosening those bolts. Second: you do not need to separate the motor from the housing on the servomotor, the gear will come out very easily once the clip and metal plate is removed. I actually completed this repair for the second time on my 2007 X3, and will be posting the video shortly. Well done on the video, thank you.

yes u r right no need to remove the motor.. a waste of time and safer to just leave it. I did it to my X3 also. I din not replace my gear I just use the other side and works like brand new again. I cleaned and put more and new grease more than they put in before.
