Hi Fellow Aussie
Just installed a camera over the weekend in the X5 so had it all apart.
I assume the X3 would be the same.
With the tail gate down the large centre bit just levers out from the end nearset the back.
Once you have this out you can get to the reverse light globes etc.
I would try a vacuum cleaner.
If that dosnt work then you need to unscrew the top of the tail gate. Remove the two reflectors and next to these are two little covers. Once you have these off you will need to remove the 6 screws. This cover then pops off.
Now its back to the larger panel and undo the 2.6million other screws well maybe not that many but it is around 20.
A electric screw driver is a good investment at this point.
You should now have all the panels off the tailgate with only the spring loaded flap left.
The lights are held in place buy 3 little bolts, unscrew these and it will come out carefull not to let it drop.
Hope this helps. should take around 20 mins to do.
Cheers
