A kidney transplant ksher? :D

I could be wrong, but I think they clip in a couple of places at the bottom... ?

Yeah they would be nice. The new ones should give you a clue as to how the old ones clip in :thumbsup:

Grilles had been ordered. Hopefully they will arrive at my local dealer this Saturday. If it is not a stone chip on my chrome grille, I probably would not buy them right now. I have road tax and insurance to pay next month. My car's one-year-old birthday is coming soon.

Kisher...

Did you ever do this, if so was it difficult? I got the black grilles sitting here but no clue how to install them/remove the old ones..

Thanks

It took me over 2 hours to finish (without the right tools). BMW technican can do it in 10 minutes.
