Question Replacing broken lower grill on 4 series M sport

Hi All,
Has anyone replaced the lower front grill on a 4 series M sport, mine is broken.
Looks like it clips in but that may be too simplistic. I'm new to BMW and the 4 series so apologies if this sounds dim or Ive posted in the wrong place!
Cheers, David

A similar post recently concluded that the bumper cover/panel needs to come off. You can find the factory repair manual here:https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f33-435d-xdrive-cab/
Check section 51. Good luck!
