When did the 35iS have the white plastic repeaters, please? Or were they always a default?

Were they available pre-2013 as an optional extra?

And what's "LCI", please?

LCI is the lifecycle impulse and is BMW speak for facelift.

How hard were the kidney grilles to remove? i have read it can be a bit fiddly, what method did you use?
Thanks!

It was a lot easier and quicker than I expected. There's a decent video on YouTube (albeit in German) that shows a guy removing the grilles that I followed. Secret is knowing where the clips are located and gently pushing them up with the tip of your finger. When you remove the plastic housing you can slide your arm down beneath the radiator and grille if it's slim enough. If you've got arms like Popeyes you may struggle.
