To remove the window trim on a BMW 3 Series, use a thin object to pry at the bottom of each trim piece. Start at one end and gently work your way to the opposite end, releasing the internal clips.

Once all clips holding a trim piece are released, you can completely remove it and move on to the next one. After all trim pieces are removed, install the new replacement parts, securing them properly.
