Removing the airbag to a E36 m3?

It's a T-30 tamper proof torx bit. I've heard these called safety torx before, but either way, they are the ones with the hollow tip.

The bolts on the airbag are a total PITA to remove, too. They're captive, they don't fully remove even if they are loose.

Enjoy.

Damn.

I'm getting to the point of outlaying serious cash for the m3 resto. I need about $450 to do the interior right, which includes miscellaneous bits, a used factory alarm, and new shift boots from redlinegoods.com.

Today, I'm going to buy some super 77 spray adhesive, and see what I can do with my previously sagging headliner. If I can get it back to tip top, I'll put that one back in and sell the old one. Should be able to get some good money out of that. I also plan on going to rat shack to look for a new switch for my lidatek, that I can hide more easily.
