BMW e46 Front Bumper Removal and Installation 1999-2005 330i, 325i, 328i, 323i
Front Bumper Cover removal and installation on a 2004 BMW 330i with ZHP package. This plastic bumper cover is similar in shape to the M3 bumper cover but it has an extra deco strip/cover. Under this three piece deco strip there are other mounting hardware which need to be removed. Video originally states that the 8 mounting rivets don't need to be removed, this is later corrected within the video. There were a number of plastic rivets used for the mounting of this bumper cover, you should plan on replacing these, they are inexpensive on eBay Motors. You will need to remove the bumper cover if you want to repair it or repaint it.

Part 1/2: This video walks you through the entire process of installing a Dynavin Head Unit / Navigation / Multimedia Device in your E46 3 Series BMW ('99-05). The process is fairly straightforward and should take even a novice approximately an hour or two from start to finish!
Sorry we didn't film the relocation into the AC Controls slot. It's a direct fit on other cars and almost a direct fit on E46, but if you want it to be 100% factory you'll need a climate control trim piece available from the dealer. In this install we did not use the factory piece and it worked quit well. e46 is the only model that uses the OEM part and it's 51-16-7-001-408.

You simply design them yourself.

BMW Sunroof Repair.wmv
Repairing the Sunroof Shade on a 2003 BMW 325 xiT E46. This repair will apply to all E46 models from 1999 to 2006.
Symptoms: I should have showed what was going on before going into the repair. I had the sunroof fully open. I went to close it and the sunshade appeared to jump off of the track and there was a crunching sound. I was able to reposition the sunshade to close the glass panel but the sunshade was jumping around....not anchored. The plastic tabs on the driver's side broke and that is what I replaced to correct the issue.
