removing 4 spoke e53 wheel?
 

before i tackle this project to swap in the m3 wheel, anyone have tips or advice on the removal of the current wheel?
thanks

i've done it before..very easy process just make sure you unhook the battery. do u know the basic process or do u need help with that?

Don't know what year X you have but is this the 4 spoke you have?

i too will be doing this in the next few days...or atleast atempt it!

i have 0 clue where to start except i know there are 2 slots in the back of the steering wheel. i was probably going to start there and hope to figure it out...anything you can provide from step 1 would be much appreciated fellas.

this is more along the lines of what i have..

hey naz...you have anymore tips or starting place guide to take this thing apart? thanks

this wasn't a bad job to do...
2 torx t27 that hold the airbag in....behidn the wheel
once those are out the airbag just falls out...just unlpug the wires...
after that, everything should fit back...i should have tried my new wheel with the airbag in first...i didn't ge the airbag centered!!!! on my new wheel...argh...
just remove fuse 44 in the glovebox.....the battery was too much of a pain!!!

Sweet. Looking forward to the sportier feel!
