Sorry can't answer that, but on my 328xi I took those vents off completely when I was painting area around vents (paint peeled off from my kids kicking it when in the carseat). So I imagine you can take it off, but there's probably several screws holding it from both sides.

The thing is f15 generation is only 3 years on market and people have not tried many repairs yet, so lack of good DIY is present

I'm sure in Bentley manual this process is described in details. Maybe you can download it or find it somewhere
