How to Replace a BMW E46 M3s Windshield Plastic Thingy! (aka the windshield cowl)

Yo yo yo! Guys, it's time for another video! We've been pretty good with keeping up the vids lately and hopefully it stays that way but on today's episode of Dragon Ball Z, we find ourselves at Eric's house again to replace the windshield plastic piece, aka windshield plastic thing, aka windshield cowl on the BMW E46 M3. Enjoy!

My wiper arms would not come off by shaking the arm nor by tapping with a screw driver and mallet as recommended in the videos. Had to delay the job until I got a decent wiper arm puller. By the time you need to replace the cowl, you can be sure the wipers are on tight by minor chemical reaction between the metals and the wiper puller is needed. These are not expensive, hassle free, parts don't go flying and it worked great and a lot cheaper than having the job done at a garage. When reinstalling the wipers, I found on line that the wiper position is 24 mm from the tip to the cowl seal for the right (passenger side) wiper and 44 mm for the left (drivers side) wiper. Cleaning out the dirt that had had collected under the old cowl was the biggest part of the job. While at cleaning, you may as well remove the flexible shields just below the ends of the windshield and get the dirt out from under there as well. I used the OEM cowl from BMW. Everything is on the cowl, no need to buy clips, washers or grommets. Amazingly, it had only been manufactured 5 months before according to a sticker I found on it. Looks great.

What’s up with that steering wheel looks sick

it's pretty dope! It's from my buddies at realcarbontastic and they have different variants for the m3. You can also reach them on their ig page at @carbontastic

How much did you sell your Massarati for? I am currently looking to buy one.

[@RichardCuico]

sold mine for about $31k to carmax and I currently see it for sale for $40k near me. They aren't going to get $40k for that thing because it has like 64k miles and I originally purchased it at $40k. If you can find a clean MC for around 35K miles, you've found a winner

What new car did you end up purchasing?
