Is there any procedure for removing the airbag so I don't blow my face off!

I concur with @Mint as he advised me when I took mine off, :thumbsup: remember to put face up though when storing it just in case it does go off for any reason, would jump twenty foot in the air otherwise.

You have a good point there Nod, thanks
 
just used cellulose paint its dried nice and hard, and yet is still flexible, as for removing airbag as was previously said disconnect the car battery, and wait a few minutes then unplug it, also there a 4 other t20 screws that need to be removed one is holding an earth wire on the steering wheel, and 3 others holding on the slip ring you will see these when you remove the wheel.. i have changed my wheel a few times now and can do it in about 15 mins.... Jayson, i had the wheel off to do this, but i bought a spare wheel while the grotbag wheel was being refurbed. any motor factors / decent spray shop can match up your wheel colour, i used abergavenny brake and clutch the fella there Keith has worked for years mixing paint for other motor factors, and really knows his stuff, you need a semi gloss celulose i left my wheel with him for a few days while he played about with different colours, i sure if you mentioned me he could mix you up a can, as he hasa the colour now...
 
@littlefeller Jason I have a spare wheel (original off my ///M so I would need it back mate) you can borrow if you want to take yours off to referb.
 
i think it depends on the air bag if its a dual stage or single stage, i know mine is a single stage not sure all are the same in Z3s....
 
i think wheels are compatible just the airbags different, you have m sport2 wheel same as mine Jason...
 
Wow really impressed with this well done :thumbsup:
Now watch the Zedders queuing up to get theirs done :happy:

Lots of advice on the net. Basically disconnect your battery and wait a few minutes before disconnecting the air bag. :thumbsup:
