In this video, see how to remove the grille from the front bumper of a BMW X5. Prepare to take off the plastic grille frame from both sides of the bumper. Use a plastic trim tool to pry between the frame and the bumper until the chrome 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 bumper by pressing it until it locks in place. Check for proper installation.
