It makes it easier if you turn the steering wheel so the screws are at the top or bottom, rather than by the turn signal, cruise control, or windshield wiper stalks.

I only replaced my wheel trim this week, and I encountered the same sticking point with the slack to the button module on the right side. I had to be really careful here because there was barely enough slack on it to move it above the wheel to undo the screw at the back, but in the end got I the job done. Thanks for the video🙂👍

Keep up the great work.

Dude your steering wheel is as shiny as an old mans bald head. Pro tip from Tommy L Garages channel: Use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It absolutely cleans off the grime and hand oils from the leather and restores the original dull leather look reverting it to the new look.

@murk1352 Жыл бұрын

The wire was giving you a problem because there’s a right & wrong way to do things! The air bag comes out & that unplugs! Then you can unscrew the buttons take the switches out. Screw them in & run the wires into your new trim. Plug it in then reinstall the air bag! You won’t trigger an airbag light if you wait 10-15 min after disconnecting the neg battery terminal…👌🏻💪🏻🏁

@AsmirSut 6 жыл бұрын

It's a downgrade compared to N54.

@exserk 6 жыл бұрын

Asmir Sut how so?

@AsmirSut 6 жыл бұрын

Dai Thach Well, it's not so simple to answer but I'll try. The N54 is rumored to have forged internals to begin with, whether that is true or not is up for debate. The N55 is proven to be weaker but anyways bmw used the N55 as base for S55 (used in current M3 and M4) They pretty much just changed internals to stronger ones which N54 had anyways. The N54 has been tuned to ridiculous amounts of power and sounds so much better than both N55, S55, and B58. The aftermarket support is huge and in my mind that is a big plus for itself. And also don't forget that 1M, and Z4 35is uses N54, and M2 uses the lesser N55. In other words what I'm trying to say, even bmw indirectly admits that the N54 is the king of their engines since they used it in one way or another in their high performance cars. Now please understand that this topic is very hard to explain in a KZfaq comment but there is much info about everything I said on Wikipedia etc.

@exserk 6 жыл бұрын

so when it comes to the aftermarket tunes, the old n54 is better than the b58. How the does two engines compare when it come to stock?
