In this guide, we will see the main steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the front bumper grille of the BMW 3 Series. First, we open the hood of the car and start by detaching the side tabs of the two bumper grilles from the inside; we gently remove the two grilles, as shown in the video.

At this point, we install the new bumper grilles, inserting them in the correct direction; make sure that the plastic supports are in good condition, in order to avoid vibrations that could lead to the grilles breaking over time.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display.
