In this video I'm going through every step I took to swap my old steering wheel for my new one. I encountered a few common issues along the way such as trying to find the springs to release the air bag And also the snapping of some crucial plastic sections.
Every issue I encountered I've also fixed, so watch the whole video to find out exactly how I did it.

Nice video.
No need to disconnect the +ive cable though on the battery. Also should have a 10mm spanner in your BMW tool kit which will undo the battery terminal, which should be easier than the adjustable.

Thank you. Yes someone else pointed out positive, but nevermind. Belt and braces, eh?
