How to Replace the Front Grille of a BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Grille

Before starting, open the hood of your BMW 3 Series. Begin by removing the upper screws that secure the front end to the frame. Next, detach the clips that hold the two sections of the grille to the front. This will free the grille itself. Proceed to pull it out from its position. Once you complete this step, you will have finished the disassembly. To install the new grille sections, follow this procedure in reverse, and you will have completed the replacement.
