Cool, thanks!

I watched about 5 videos to learn this process and this was the best one. The reach through method just results in bent clips and it makes it so much more difficult to push through. I spent 15 minutes scraping my fingers through the grill, it took less time to do it like this and far less painful on the fingers. My mineral grey 330D looks so much better now

Just finished swapping to the carbon fiber grills. This video made it extremely simple. Took about 15 minutes. Thanks for all the videos you put out.

BEST BMW channel on YT PERIOD! Keep up the great work Brian.

Thank you!! Wait until you see what we have in store for the near future 😎

Great video, I just got my new grilles today and will be putting them on. I can’t wait to see it as I have the same color on my 340i. I got the M style with the M colors (I wanted the all black but I guess I wasn’t paying 100% attention when I ordered!) and this will be my first modification of the car. I have only owned it for two weeks and plan to work my way into more updates-these videos are a big help, thanks!

well done man, I just tried another video before this one. The difference and clarity of your video is clear. Cheers man.

i swear i love this channel more and more everytime u post a video. keep em coming!!

This video was so helpful. Cheers Brian✌🏽

Just done my F30, looks superb though my hands are big managed to prize the clips without breaking them, also your finishing touch lining it all up makes it look so much cleaner. Thanks

This video worked better then the other ones I watched thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Fist off, I love your videos. I’m not super mechanically inclined but your videos give me the confidence to do some of these jobs so thanks for all the content! lol I love how easily these cooperated for you. Mine didn’t start to budge till the last 2 clips. My tabs were hard enough that i used a plastic trim tool to push them down. But in the end they look great on my car! Also, thank you for letting us know what tools we’ll need to do the job. I love not having to lug my whole tool box next to my car.

Good video. I installed the black grills on a F32, same procedure. I found it easier to start with unclipping the centre clip near the middle first as these were the hardest to unclip.

If you don't put the first grill back in, the second grill is much easier to get out by going through the 1st grill hole to release the tabs.

Since I had everything opened up on the top, it was just as easy to reach over. The old taps had some plastidip on them, but it still came out easy

I remember watching these videos when they were new. I always wanted a F32 and would watch these videos just because. Fast forward and the channel has grown exponentially and I now have a F32.

Thanks, you made this very easy to understand, and as a result, I was able to change my grill very quickly. It is a cheap and simple upgrade. 👍

Great tutorial. I plan to do this on my F30 335i soon. I think the m style grill looks awesome on that car

Great job pal. I'm ready to change mines this week end. Thks

Thanks for this informative vid. I’m now replacing my F30 grills with the new G20 grill look!

I just did this yesterday on my F31 LCI, same gloss black M3 style kidneys, looks so much better than the chrome ones.

Used this today, thanks Bryan! 👍🏼

well... I just did my f80 2016...the bumper did not bend as easily as shown and it was difficult to get my hand inside ...but in the end I made it . thanks for the video

I did this about two weeks ago on my f36 and I did not really need to undo any screws and bother with bumper realignment. I just squeezed my fingers through the grill slats and undid the latches. It is a tight squeeze and my fingers were a bit sore, but after around 10 minutes I was done. Also dont put the new grill in when you still have the other old one on! Put your hand through the hole and reach out to undo the latches on the second grill. It makes it so much easier.. ;)

You are the best

Excellent guide Bryan. Thank you very much for taking the time to show us like minded BMW enthusiasts how to improve our F30s, be it cosmetically and/or performance wise. Following your guide made it simple to swap out my grilles. Looks amazing.

Beautiful car Kies

did installation today. All bolts take the same size Torx bit (2014 328i). Total time was 45 minutes including a break to go back and look at the video several times.

Thank you

It looks easy and I would like to try it. Any other suggestions?

I just did this with my 2018 440i. Newer models don’t let you pull the front of the car as far back so putting your hand in the car is almost impossible. The best way to do this is using a screwdriver as a lever to pop each tag without even opening the face of the car. I don’t know why nobody has made this video it’s definitely the best method

Good video, shame I don't have a competent guy like you here in Ireland, was going to get the easy access fitted to the drivers door for wireless access but I can't find someone will to take on the challenge!!!

just did mine F32. Simple. If you got big hands like me start from top like this guy did. and take the other side out once you have one of them off that way you can just reach in. Dont be scared to pull on bumper a little bit it gives a good amount of pull but dont go hulk on it either. Took me about 30 min

Thank you! First grille replacement video that calls out the groove on the headlight. The first time I replaced mine, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why my bumper and hood weren't laying flush.

What’s that awesome blue air filter you got there?

Nice looking car, these grills give an aggressive look to the car

Groovy !

If you take 1 side out you can reach from the gap Tru the other side its a little bit easyer specially on the lci

thanks bro

Sure thing!

Great video, but it was a lot harder than it looked. The grills on my F34 took a lot of force to pop out.

Having just done this, the worrying part is bending the front end of your 25K pride and joy to get your hand down to reach the tabs. Took me an hour and a half to get the first one out and I still broke off two of the tabs, they are quite brittle if pushed the wrong way. If you break the tabs off it doesn’t really matter if you’re not interested in retaining the old chrome grilles, it doesn’t affect the new installation. After removing one grille, don’t put the new grille in, as you can use the hole to reach through to find the tabs on the second. It took me 5 mins to fit the second one. Check the bonnet / fender gap afterwards, you may need to make a small adjustment when tightening the screws down to ensure an equal bonnet / fender gap all the way along. Note, some manufacturers provide a tool to reach down to the tabs. I wish I’d known that before scraping the skin off my hand!!

oooh your channel is blowing up nicely.

Hey mate i did what you said but on bonet slightly gap left what i have to do can you help me please

You can take the whole bumper off to replace the grilles. I know more screws to remove but a lot easier to remove the grilles. Less bending the bumper at well.

Thanks. Got them off in seconds!

Hey there, I'm having a bit of trouble undoing the tabs on my 320I F30. Could you clarify which direction I need to pull the tab to undo it?

Im about to put the exact same double black grill on a white 2014 320i xdrive with black rims!!

Just did the same thing on my M4, but the bumper doesn't flex outwards nearly as much as in the vid. Was a bit more difficult on the F82, but I just removed one grill, and used that big opening to get the other one out.

Are you interested in doing a video of putting and M Sport bumper on a 2014 f30 wagon? I wanted to do the swap and I live in New Jersey. Kyle

Stupid question, but is the grill the same for the F30 and F30 m sport variants? :) Great video

Wasnt able to do it, just affraid if I pull the bumper like this, that it will brake..no space at all

Will this grill fit in my 3-Series 328d BMW? If not what M3 type of grill would fit? Please help!

Is the grill removal process the same on the lci (post-2015)? I cant get mine to come off..

Is this the same process for a 2016 X5M?

How about on a 2020 G20 M340xi. I have the hideous gold/bling stock grill, BMW now sells a black grill but wants $169. to install. I've swapped out grills on an 2011 550i, that was easy. I removed the top brackets and 2 12mm. plastic allen screws from the lower outside on the G20. I can't see or feel were the bottom is clipped in. Any ideas?

Will this fit my 320i 2015 Bmw?

Do you know if the m3 grill if a differently shaped the m4 grill. Basically what I wanna figure out if a m3 grill fit in the 335! M sport

Looks much better with these grills... I will replace them on my f34!!

Maybe I’m late but having trouble finding where I need to use the T25 please help

This can be done without need for any tools or opening the top part of the bumper and thus no alignment issues or risk cracking bumper plastic. Great updated nonetheless.

my bumper doesn't bend that much. also i have some additional rubber inside and barely reach the corner clips on top...bottom ones no chance...i'm just gonna take the bumper of...because i'm trying to bend it and i'm afraid it'll snap

I tried to do this on 430i Gran Coupe. There's no way to place your hand inside - it's like it has whole additional metal part across entire bumper which I'm not sure I can match looking at this car. Or at least it's so tightly placed I simply can't push my hand properly inside.

great tutorial. a far cry from most videos on the subject i've seen, where they dont show everything, especially how to remove the grills. thanks!

If you want to save yourself the job of releasing the bumper. You can reach the clips with back of a bike spoke and release them. 7 Minutes and the job is done

Couldn't bend my bumper quite far back enough to get my whole arm in during cold weather. I'll wait til summer

Warm weather makes a difference, think if I did mine on a cold day, it would not have been so flexible.

Have a 2016 M3 and my bumper does not bend that much or I'm worried about destroying it...

Nice one mate. Finished in 5 mins. Glad I watched this as the garage wanted to charge me £60 to fit.! 😂
