Welcome to ShoplifeTV!
In this video I take out the headliner out of my 330i s54 swapped sedan. I go step by step and show you how to take it off. I will be rewrapping it and there is going to be a video on that as well.

I just did it. The removal is pretty easy. The reinstall on the other hand will have you cursing out the engineers. Words cant describe how awful the reinstall is, and you better have some quality superglue

Awesome video. You know youre way around an E46! I watched this because I need to replace my cassette for my sunroof and dont feel like paying $2k to get it done at a shop. Could you do a DIY on the sunroof cassette or at least show the mounting bolts, drain tubes, etc?? Youre vids are soo helpful!

Great tutorials! Your videos are very helpful. However I think I would rather have a nice headliner than a functional sun roof. I removed my glass and saw only one side of the track was working which means the spline from the motor (under visor, under headliner) is broken. I will just adjust my sunroof flush, disconnect the motor and forget about using it. All good. Thanks!

My family now has six e46 and a couple of Z3's and I'm a big fan of the product when everything is good and fixed. But there is a day coming when I'm going to expect the manufacturer to get these things Toyota right in the first place. We have also owned eight Camrys, three Celicas, two Corollas, two Highlanders, and one Supra Turbo. Toyota can take a bow now while BMW is allowed to take notes furiously!

There is a video or two out there on how to reprogram it by pushing and holding certain buttons for a certain amount of time.

Did it like 3x ,no good,would try another day,no go then finally the brain of the car got unconfused and I did the correct sequence and walaaa. Try again and the best of luck.

I thought the same thing until I looked and listen to what he was saying and doing. He removed the bottom pillar thats connected to the threshold because the top pillar fits under the bottom pillar and the snaps are hard to get to if he didn't remove the bottom pillar and only pulled it back a little.

Jesus Christ what an GD undertaking just to get the headliner removed. So much for BMW quality. If this were a 1980s Oldsmobile I could understand it, but I would expect a lot more from BMWs design team than such a shit design as the interior fabric of this model shows. I just replaced the A pillars in my 330 and now the headliner is drooping. My old Toyota beater has never had such unnecessary issues. Good presentation though.
