How to remove the ventilation grille of the BMW 1 Series E81/E87

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Grille

In this video, we see how it is possible to easily remove the ventilation grille of the BM1 Series 1 version E81/E87: all we will need is a flathead screwdriver, which we will place in the center of the driver's side grille, levering it off easily since it is built in one piece. This also makes it very difficult to break. We will do the same on the passenger side, which is built the same way. As for the central grille, we will not place the screwdriver under the grille, but above, always in the center, and lever from the top. This is also built in one piece, but there are electrical connectors that need to be disconnected before removing the grille. For reassembly, simply snap the grilles back into place, remembering that the central one has an electrical connector that must be reconnected beforehand.
