Replacement of the front bumper grilles of the BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Grille

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.
