remove E87 kidney grill?

[KarshS]

Guys is there an easier way to remove the kidney grills?

Its very easy.

Above the grilles there's about 4 black screws that mount the bumper to the black trimming where the bonnet locks into.

Unscrew those 4 screws, then gently pull the bumper away a little bit so that you can squeeze your hand down to the back of the grilles. While looking thru the grilles from the front, find the clips then unclip them. Push from behind.

Simple as that.

yep, exactly the same manner is taking out the E46 and the E90 grilles.

Just that you have to take off or loosen the bumper. Cos with the e87 its in the front bumper and not on the bonnet

Did you buy the carbon grilles?

Be mindful that the screws are not normal philips screwheads. You will need a hex set, i think its a T-20 if I am not mistaken
