    E36 sedan wire routing from trunk

    I'm going to install a new amp in the trunk. What is the easiest route to run cables and wires, along center hump and into console or along the side?

    And is there a trick to getting the moulding off the door sills? Does it just pry up?

    All modern BMWs gave the audio system cables routed along the left side of the car. Pull the door’s threashold and pull the carpet back a bit. You’ll see a ton of wires in the chassis frame rail.

    Thanks Marco. Do you just pry up the moulding at the threshold?

    Yup. Be prepared to replace the plastic thingees that hold the threshold in place. They’re pretty fragile as are most BMW plastics.
