Replacement of the Front Grille

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

The disassembly operation is very simple and easy. The grille is held in place by four side clips. Using the special tool, pry between the retaining spring of the clips and the body to release the retaining clip. Perform the same operation on the remaining three clips. Now you can pull the grille out from the front. To install the new grille, simply position it gently in its slot and press inward. The four clips will lock automatically without further intervention. Check the correct position in the support.
