Thanks mate! Very helpful.

Hi buddy, I just done my 2018 F16 X6 upgrading the silver\chrome to blackdual grills. I fought with the same process of trying to lever the outside of the grill forward and then in a eureka moment and realised that removing top cover which holds the air intake channels in place makes it much easier and accessible to release the grill tangs. Simply remove the two 8mm bolts (one at each side) holding the cover it in place. (That's the cover your yellow screwdriver was resting on at the start of your video), then slide it backwards to release the locating slats. Boom you've got unfettered acces to everything you need.

They make these a pain to take out, but this video helped a lot, thanks!

Great vid thanks. I shall be attempting mine this week. Last did this in 2005 on my five series. Had no skin left on my fingers!!!

Excellent, I just planing on doing the same. Great info, thanks!

Thank you, will get around to doing my X6... and that's a Lotus Evora!

Thanks Lee - took me no time at all. Mine's 40D so doesn't have that hole that you found so handy (has cowling over it). Still was simple thanks to your vid.

Simple to remove the whole intake cowling cover, it's only secured by two bolts.

Keep up mate. I got the same vehicle and would like to replace more parts to make it feel sporty.

Access from the back does not work on 30D with shutter system in the way, guessing this is a 2 litre engine?

It's easier to use your finger to realise the bottom tabs, it's a squeeze but alot faster

I just pull them and there come out the clips break on old grills but job done in 2 mins

What do you call the shiny chrome trim around the grill ? And also, are you able to just replace them, I already have a black grill but with chrome trim, can you just change the trim?

Thanks!!!

lol! awesome and thanks!!!!

Just bought an X5 m50d any chance you can send a link for the black grills please

Did you use genuine BMW parts or after market. Thanks for the video!
