I saw the vent removal done on Youtube recently.
They used a plastic pry tool all around the edges and popped it out.
At the time I was researching replacing the cigarette socket to accommodate a USB charger and needed to get behind the vent.
It just pops out.

I scoured YouTube well before posting this. All I could find was a video to replace the rear cig lighter panel and that was for an X5 though.

Every instruction you will find on newtis.info. But just use a pry tool. If I remember correctly you have to start with the wood panel. It overlaps a little bit the air vent part. Look at ebay pictures for the clip position.
