Replace the Front Grilles on BMW 5 Series

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Trim cover

Replace the center grille on the BMW 5 Series; let's look at the disassembly. Remove the two plastic grille frames on either side of the bumper. Use a plastic trim tool to pry between the frame and the bumper until the clips inside release (detach the bumper at the top for easier access). Once the clips are released, remove the grille from the bumper. Reinstall the grille into the car's bumper by pressing it until it locks in place. Check the correct installation of the parts. Replace both grilles if they are damaged.
