How to Remove the Front Grille on BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Trim cover

In this video, see how to remove the grille located on the front bumper of a BMW 3 Series. Prepare to remove the plastic grille frame on both sides of the bumper: use a plastic trim tool to pry between the frame and the bumper until the clips on the inside release (detach the bumper at the top for easier access). Once the clips are released, remove the grille from the bumper and install a new one. Reinstall the grille into the car's bumper by pressing it until it locks in place. Check the proper installation of the parts.
