BEFORE YOU START
Match the car. Then the instructions.
The photos show an E46 installation. X3 E83 is a catalogue-listed application; confirm that its housing and retainers match before using the illustrations.
- Use the catalogue to check the exact engine, production date and steering position before ordering parts.
- Compare your installed housing and fasteners with the illustrations. Stop if the arrangement differs or the instructions leave a safety-critical detail unresolved.
- Follow the publisher’s precautions. Fitting requires relevant mechanical knowledge and experience.
