Change Grill E60

[JFPM]

Good night

I would ask for your help, I bought black grilles for my E60, but when I opened the hood I did not know what to do ..
If someone has already replaced a E60 give me some tips please ...
Another option is to go to the BMW ...

Thanks

You have to unscrew the protective shield under the hood, then pop off the hood liner . There are three tabs on the top, under where the hood liner was, that u have to push out and then take a flat head and pop the bottom two out. There is also one on each side of the grille and those suck to get out.

Why would you do all that??

That's not the way everyone else has done it.


Just remove the rubber weather strip that runs next to the grill by pulling up on it. (it requires force, dont worry it wont break)

Then you unscrew the torx screws the 4-5 torx screws that are under that rubber seal.

After that just undo the clips around the grill by either pulling up on them (botton clips) or pushing down with your finger for the top clips.
Be careful not to break them.

The grill will then pop out and you just pop the new one in.

You will need to pull the bumper out a bit with your hand to reach the bottom clips. It's pretty flexible.

I'll look for the DIY with pics when I get home.
