Does anyone know or have a DIY on how to remove the middle center grille? I wanted to swap mine out for the honey comb one. I tried earlier and got spent got stumped

thanks!

I have not specifically done it on the F15 but every other BMW I have done, I had to remove the bumper as they are all clipped to the bumper cover from the back, so you have to have some type of access to the clips, not sure if you can remove the undertray and get access or not. The key is you have to get to the backside to release the clips and that is likely to need the bumper removed I suspect.

@ptrz , usually it push inward from front of the bumper.
But you have to be careful, BMW like to interlock one part to another part.

I tried pushing it in but there was another bracket on the inside that prevented me from taking it out.

That probably why.
