Bumper Air Inlet

Does any know the procedure to remove the highlighted air-inlet in the front bumper. I know to remove the lattice and silver piece, just not the entire housing. Thanks!

Correct, looking for the painted air in-let. I believe, based on the thread that discusses the reflector removal, you have to disassemble the lower bumper, peel it back and remove. I was looking for some guidance and/or a BMW removal guide.

Thanks.

Just a thought . . but the front bumper is not a big deal to remove... that would make it easier ? Or is that what you are after ?

Remove the front bumper cover. The air inlets are welded inside to the cover, so you would need to cut the plastic welding with a knife/blade and then you can easily remove it. There is no way you can pull out the intakes without damaging the bumper cover. Hope the attachment helps.

Yes, if you check realoem.com, it appears BMW sells a "Repair Kit" which are replacement air-intakes. I assume it comes with some adhesive or something.
