7. Heater/AC panel ...
Start by removing the stereo. I have an aftermarket stereo with special puller tools; the standard BMW stereo requires a Special Tool to undo the fasteners on each side. It's like an allen wrench with five sides. You can approximate this by grinding down a small Allen wrench :
Pop out the switches above the stereo and unplug. Up inside the top of the switch holes are two small screws that hold the top of the panel in. Remove these:
Pull off the temp and blower knobs and the three knobs from the vent sliders. There are two more screws holding the panel in, under the bottom front roughly under the temp and blower knobs. Remove these:
Carefully pull off the cover around the vent sliders and remove the four screws underneath. Pop out and unplug the AC/Recirc switch:
Tilt out the panel and remove the four screws holding the clock or onboard computer. Disconnect the plug from the back and remove it:
The entire panel should now come out, leaving behind the vent/temp controls:
