Bit of a tip, once removed the first one, don't install it straight away like the video. Instead you can get your hand it the hole where the first grill was removed, unclip with one hand, and pull with the other.

You guys deserve an award honestly

Thanks. Just did mine. For anyone trying this, the video doesn’t really show just how much effort you need. It needs a considerable amount so don’t be shy once the clips are out (but also don’t break the bumper.

Dude thank you so much to show it in a right way!!! I mean your technique (to loosen the grill by getting the finger behind it) is spot on. All the other videos i saw they are basically pulling the grill really really hard. Which i was not comfortable with.

For anyone struggling with bending the clips but them not releasing, if you can get your finger right in the middle where its raised (like a little wedge) its a lot easier. I really struggled with the first grill (and broke a tab), then the second took me about a minute

Definitely just did this in 5 minutes. Thank you.

Thanks for the advice. I had to use this in combination with removing the bolts at the top of the bumper. Some of the clips just dod NOT want to cooperate. Very grateful for the help!

I reckon a right angle pick would make it even EASIER but yes no tools required

Just done this on my 4 Series, definitely don't need to remove part of the bumper as in other vids, thanks for the vid guys

Jus did this to my 330e. It was difficult to get out but I used a tool that Home Depot gave me to open my paint cans and it was amazing. It was curved and it could pull the tabs. Definitely need two people.

Great tutorial, especially when you close up the grill to show us the technique. Thank you 👑

This is great and yes beats opening the bolts and top part of bumper and stretching the plastic to fit your hand through. Plus alignment was always a problem that old fashioned way when putting the bumper back. Wow so easy I'll try it too...

This was much easier than the other videos I’ve watch to install my new grills

you guys are the Truth , kidney grill gods!!!

Just did it, came off easy. Thank for the tip ! Big help.

Worked like a charm! Thanks for this info!

Great video, worked out as you guys did it and saved so much time. 👍🏻

I knew there was an easier way to do this, all these daft videos stripping the bumper off, thanks mate 👍 subbed n liked

The best explanation on this.

Short and sweet, hell yea 👏🏼👏🏼✊🏼

I copied this video for my f20 and it’s saved so much time! Thankyou chaps 👍🏼

Well explained gentlemen. Awesome quality

Worked well for me. Thanks!

Excellent tutorial. Thanks Gents

v ery good way, everybody desassemble the bumpor! congratulations

Thanks a lot man. Mine look great!

Warning: I reached behind the grille to pry the tabs up and there must be some kind of fibreglass material that I touched. I have microscopic cuts all over my hands after doing this. Definitely will wear gloves next time. It worked though!

This was very helpful for me, Iv watched few other videos. Thankyou

just replaced them took 5 mins on my F82 and a very sore hand ;) thanks for the vid, 1 down 2 to go, side vent and exhaust tips

Thanks for teaching, I follow this vedio and did it in 30mins.

Tip once removing one grill reach behind the bumper while one grill is still out and undo the tabs on the other grill took me less than 6 minutes and was much easier that way

did it but managed to break the 3 clips on the lower grill on both sides. good thing I had a replacement

I found the RHS easier and then I could slip my hand across to the other and that one was simple(s). Only problem in the first was the lower RHS one but I eventually finagled it out. Thanks for the video.

Outstanding.

Just got to hit the G spot nice

Practically impossible to do this from the outside unless you have some kind of hook tool. Top tip...do not bend the entire plastic tab back to release it (they'll break), you need to push the flexible lug in the centre of tab keeping it straight as possible..you'll thank me later

Tape around the paint. The clips can pop out and scratch the paint. When putting the new one in lubrate then with something so next time it’s not so hard.

Just did this for my f31 in 5min thanks to your video. Luckily my fingers were long enough 😂

Neat broke a tab before I watched!! ALWAYS I REPEAT ALWAYS try and brake something before you find out the right way to do it!!

Going to try this because I dislike the chrome. And I did not want to unclip the darn top of the bumper just to do this. Thx.

This is definitely was really easy. Just have to work you way around and it's a piece of cake. Thank you!

Cheers, used this method on my F36 and took less than 20 mins start to finish. Not sure why anyone would faff about removing bonnet screws, so unnecessary. Get your fingers in there!

My hands are ruined but I'm glad I didn't have to take the bumper off. Thank you

Much Easy way it took me 1 minute tops i just did it on my F30 once you take off 1st one its easy to remove the 2nd one ... Thanks Gents

since my old grills have had it im just gonna whack the grill out then can easy put hand in and release they going in bin anyway so happy days

Lads can you reattach the originals back in later if you want to ?

great video, but it did enrage me slightly that you didn't clean behind it before inserting the new one haha

lol the struggle is so real.. :D didnt look easy anyways but gj u got it

Did this today cheers

I have the base so it has lots of slates. It's so much harder to do so

Thank you

Great vid, took me 20 min

With my old i would have to clean the area the grill came our of

Bro I tried and couldn’t get the bottom clips

I did mine using an even easier method. I carefully snapped 3 of the black fins on the grill to be removed and got my whole hand in making it even quicker. As long as you don't plan on reusing the originals it saves time and the skin on your hands.

Great video, but i find u could of atleast clean the surface b4 popping the new grille bk in

Couldn't do it. I cut my hand trying. 🙄

Would say the normal way of opening the bonnet is easiest

I was just going to rip em out cheers guys 👍🏻

Will this work for my 2014 f32 435i

Mine wouldn’t budge at all, so I took a hammer and just broke it, both were smashed in 5 min, clipped on the gloss grill and that was that.

I’m struggling fingers are in shambles with my f30

thanks just broke the little thingies if the old one tho lmao

Girl: how in the world did you learn how to do that? Me: shows her this video

I have so many flies and butterflies behind the kidneys/grill so i wanna remove it so i can remove alot of the dirt

I’m absolutely useless repairing cars ha! With this video this was an absolute breeze. Sorted in less than 15 minutes on my 2018 430i

There is no clips on mine x5m

Where can I buy bmw parts at a moderate price please gents

I tried this way but I found the other easier

E93....new grills look great in the boot...i failed miserably after hr of trying....even loosened off screws top of bumper my hands far to big to get in there so F**k it i.ll keep the chrome ones or find a body shop to do the job....

My hands are hurting but I managed to do it safely. Took me about 30 minutes

good thx

tried this but it’s more difficult than it looks!

G spot technique

Not all heroes wear capes!

Paldies par informaciju 0:22

Just do it the right way, open the hood remove 8 easy screws and you won’t damage your bumper or the grills.

im japanese. its good news. thankyou

Does this work on a 2013 328i model? I just had a quote at an auto shop and it was over $500 😮

tried this but my hands are too big

Use gloves, mine were literally stuck to the bumper, I managed to get them off and lost most of the clips along the way. And a bit of skin

Easy?! This is tough

My buddys got no chill and i was bullying him that his fingers were too short and that if he needed mummys help, and he went inside and came back........... so he used a multitool to cut the grill so he could get his hand inside😂. Th

It may look a little better BUT twice as a pain to clean it !!!

F20 ??

Do i push down the tabs up or down

You cant open the hood instead???

i just broke the old grille with a hammer:D

1:15 my girlfriend came right after seeing this part of the clip

… i should call her

It won’t work no matter how hard I try

Yeah I suck at doing anything 🤐

Mine are incredibly hard for some reason smh

This does not work for the 7 series lol. Great video though.

This method don’t apply on 528i

I broke mine but ok. This ain't the proper way.

that is the totally wrong way to pull tht grill. pls dont do this guys ur most likely to break the harness. Open the bonnet remove the top screws above the grill portion slide ur hand through and unclip in gently.

shits impossible to do man

Nope my 2017 230i is not like that at all

Do not do this I broke two clips now I need to get a new grill so it won’t rattle
