no steering wheel didnt have to be removed.
update.
i got the bulbs. replaced them. put it all back to gether..and realize that my Brake lining indicator bulb was out also...so i took it back apart and in the process borke the corner of the plastic shroud covering my instruments.
Now i gotta go to a BMW yard and find an E30 and get the replacement part.
DIY will be put together after i do that.
GODAMIT either way...cause i fixed one thing and broke another.
