1. Disconnect battery
2. Loosen wheel bolts
3. Jack up front wheels and remove wheels
4. Secure car on axle stands
5. Open bonnet and remove airbox
6. Get into car
7. Put car in neutral
8. pull like a mutha
9. Hit self in eye
10. sit back and think, why did I dollow steps 1-6
11. Curse bigfas and reverse steps 1-6

its as simple as that christ surly being a bmw theres more to it :D so all i do with the new one is push it on and job done :eek:

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't keep your head over the gear knob when pulling it upwards. You'll smack yourself in the gob. If that happens its best to make sure no-one else is around as you'll probably end up kicking the shit out of them in anger/pain even though it had nothing remotely to do with them.

Are all these chrome/metal knobs not cold in the morning. Once had a chrome one on a vectra and swapped it for that reason.

I like my stock knob, its nice and warm when i hold it;)

[K3V HA]

Yes Lee, my know is very cold in the morning, sometimes i have to wait till it warms up, on occasion i have to get my girlfriend to rub it so it gets warmer faster :eek:
