The lower side grills?

Figure out where the clips are from the replacement, and put enough pressure to where that clip is.
It will come off, unless someone put epoxy to it.

Nvm I figured it out like 30 seconds after posting this that I just needed to get angry at it and force it out. Haha

Haha ya. Love it immediately. For the M50d trim pieces as well that proved annoying AF to get in but finally got the brackets installed. Painting them trim black to blend in. Just wanted them to to fill the dumb open holes Bmw left in the grills.
