If the nut is undone, make sure the steering lock is off :thumb:

Remove the BMW emblem using a very small flat head screwdriver, that will reveal the bit nut holding on the steering wheel. (22mm I think). Remove the nut and disengage the steering lock and the wheel should just pull off of the splines.

Fitting the tech 2 is the reverse.
