Bavarian Soundwerks BMW E46 Installation Manual Download Page 3

Page: 3 / 13

Notice the green manual gas tank release on the passenger side (photo above).

Disconnect this as shown.

You can now start removing the entire trunk lining from the drivers’ side. Just be patient,

and it will come right out. Your trunk should look like this with the paneling removed. The

factory amplifier is the black box below, and is where we’ll be making several of our

connections.

Installation of the trunk panels will of course be the reverse of the above process. You’ll want to make sure

and put the trunk lining back in

before

you install your subwoofer enclosure. However, make sure that you

have all wiring connections completed before you re-install the trunk liner!
