No need to pull front bumper and if your hands cant reach the tabs...heres a DIY

You'll need this pick tool, they come in a set

Use the weird angle one

[ska///235i]

Use the grill that you're replacing and practice with the pick tool

3 tabs on top 3 on bottom and 1 on each side

[ska///235i]

(This is the passenger side grill)

start from bottom right

See pic

You want to go in from the right-hand side with the tool and place the pick underneth...once is there you turn the pick/your hand and twist clockwise to release the tab

Repeat for the other two tabs

Same for the sides

[ska///235i]

Now for the top

You go in from the left-side and twist clockwise to release the tab

Repeat for the other tabs


When the grill is out, do not replace with new grill yet. Use the opening and reach over to the driver side grill

Looks like it'll take longer to get the pick in the slots than it does to unbolt the top of the bumper. People make such a big deal out of it, but it takes like 10 minutes and is just a few screws.

F36 had no room to reach in

im not making a big deal out of this but I couldnt even reach the top tabs from pulling the bumper and couldnt reach the tabs from the grill.

Maybe i have PDC and the internals are different????

This take 5 minutes....thank you very much

The F36 probably has the rubber ducting like the F34. You can just push it out of the way. I have PDC and just about every other option as well and it makes no difference.

I know exactly what you're talking about, again my hands dont fit

Its just another way to do this...why so against it?
