X6M - Changing out front/side grilles and front/rear reflectors

Anyone have any experience changing out the reflectors?

Is removing the side grilles the same as the M3?

I believe once there off there off for good
I don't think the front reflectors are reusable because they stick on.
Back owns pop out!
So I had mine painted gloss black At a proffessional painter!
Here u go
Ps there flat and don't stick out like the aftermarket ones.

The front reflectors do indeed pop right out, they're just held in by a spring clip. I ordered painted reflectors from IND and it honestly took me 10 seconds to swap them out. I haven't tackled the rears as I'm still debating.

Yes side grilles/reflectors are removable very easyily.
I was referring to the front yellow/orange reflectors in the bumper that from what I remembered were glued on.
Glad it worked out for ya.
Post a pic!

I just got my painted front and back ones in. Are there instructions some where for removing the old ones and installing the new ones?
