In this video, learn how to replace 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 using a plastic trim tool.

Pry between the frame and the bumper until the clips on the inside release (remove the screws from the top of the bumper for better 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.
