Anyone have any tips on removal of grille on 2008 535i? I'm replacing with Carbon fiber on Black Sapphire 535. The posts and instructions that I've read seem to apply to 2007 and earlier
Thanks
Thanks

As far as grille removal is concerned, I don't think there's any difference between the earlier models and 2008 models. (I don't know this for sure but I'd be surprised if they were different.)
Do you see any evidence that your car doesn't match the posted instructions?

I didn't think there was any difference. This is the method I used a while back and I know plenty of members on here have used the same instructions. Give this a try. I'm sure it will work.

There are no differences in the grills, just a very slight difference in the LCI front bumper , unless it's MTech ................ good luck.

I asked my dealer to change the grille and they did a lousy job.
