Just installed these on our sDrive and it was pretty much a snap. The self locking retainers get very tight if you push on the trim piece from the front while locking them down. I see no need to attach them to the Bumper where people mentioned using foam tape.
r33, I thought your write up was good. A few points of constructive feedback though... For people who are changing from closed to open grills, there is no mention of how to remove/replace them. It was rather intuitive, but it had me scrolling through the instructions to see if I had missed a section. There's also no mention of how to install the new white plastic rivets. I came to the board to learn that they are just pulled to yield type things. That's different from the e70 fender flare rivets so I was confused for a moment. Last thing, the left side only has one black plastic fastener, vice the two that your instructions mention, so a person starting with the left insert will hunt around for the second one until he realizes it's just not there. Other than that, it got me through the job with no bloody knuckles and no new scratches on the car so thanks for the write up! They look awesome. Last edited by chiplee; 10-13-2014 at 03:05 PM.. |

@Chiplee, Congrats on the install.
I will update the DIY instruction once I got a chance to do another one in house.

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...32&hg=51&fg=70 IMO, it is not easier, since you don't have a nice position for you to reach in and push the locking ring. But, it is do-able. Maybe easier if you have the car up on the lift with that removed. My DIY is for you who work on it at the driveway and doesn't have access to a lift.

Couple guys called in and said it fell off somewhere. The part is not cheap.

I just used the metal retainer rings on each post. Seems to be holding solid for me.
