This sounds really :mad: but how do you remove it?? I've got a tec1 on my other 325 and you just pop out the bmw logo and.... hey presto a nut to undo. On my tec2 pop out the bmw logo and... nothing, so what's the secret??

U gotta pull off the entire middle (horn) panel, dont pull too hard as you have to disconnect a few wires as theyre wired up to the horn sensor. Then its the simple 1 bolt thing after :D

Yup, its as easy as Wil said, just grab hold of the edges around the middle/horn section and gently ease it off - you will feel it moving until it pops off. The wires just pull off.

Dont forget to unlock the steering lock or you will be there for ages trying get the wheel off :roll: :oops:

Cheers chap's thought it would be that, didn't fancy knackering an Mtec2 wheel though.

Once again the zone saves the day :thumb: :notworthy:
