HELP! E93 Battery

ucla1995 · 11-12-2007, 09:02 AM

Trying to install the M-Sport steering wheel, and the E93 battery compartment is covered by a black plastic panel that extends so far deep it's under one of the top actuating mechanisms. Has anyone found an alternate method of cutting the battery power?
(yes I've read the manual - for E93's it says consult your dealer for battery issues, and no I don't want to pay my dealer $250 to install the stupid wheel that I know how to do if I can get the power disconnected).
And I have searched (here and bimmerfest and just straight google) and can find nothing at all.
TIA!!
