Help - Removal of Grille with Night Vision
Was helping my buddy remove his grille today and was unable to remove the drivers side which has the NV camera mounted. We were able to release all of the clips on the grille, but still couldn't get it out. Felt like there was still something holding it in, but was unable to see what. Anyone know how this is done?

I think the link may still help since the grills are the same. However, there's a difference in removing the LCI version vs. pre-LCI version. At least on the M5 models. If that doesn't help, than I suggest you try to contact one of the IND people on this site who are vendors. They are very approachable and helpful.

I have tried many times... I gave up. Boots was going to help me install the RPi scoops but then I had the Dinan intakes installed ( has similar scoops) so I have no need to take the grills off any more.

Open the hood. Remove the rubber grommet from the front bumper on the driver side with night vision (you don't have to take off the whole thing, just lift 25% of it up to move it out of the way). There is a plastic housing that covers the headlight assembly. This housing covers where the hood hooks into to close. You want to pop off 2 plastic tabs of the plastic housing so you can lift that up. It will expose a hole near where the bumper and where your night vision assembly would be. You need to remove this 1 hex nut. I used a driver and extension to unfasten it. After that is removed, use two hands grab the grill and yank it out. |

You want to remove the screw from the hole below the plastic. Last edited by variable229; 12-28-2014 at 05:07 AM.. |
