F30 Front Grille Removal
Anyone found an quick and easy way of doing this without tearing the skin off your hands?
Ive purchased the Black Performance ones, to replace the stock chrome ones, but can't get them out. I remember having the same issue with my E92, the 46' however was a doddle. Ive removed the weather strip, the 6 or so torx screws and pulled the bumper forward to try and get my hands in the gap to push the clips out - but nothing is giving? Is there another route? Last resort would be to butcher the existing one and snap the black one in, but trying to evade that desperation.

Too late now, but I managed to get mine off without undoing anything... well kind of. I undid the torx bolts first, but actually you can push the tabs in from the front through the slats.
