X5M Side Markers

I've tried searching for hours now and can't find what I'm looking for...does anyone have any idea how to remove the side markers on the front fenders without breaking them or damaging the paint???

Mine were done already when I bought the truck, so I can't say this is the best method... Good luck, let us know what you figure out!

I did mine few days ago, just squeeze marker with both hands and pull it up, not forward just up, this will free the bottom pins, once they out, pull the top ones out. It's a pain but doable. Good luck!

Lol I went through the same shit putting them in my E90...there should be a little plastic square inside the wheel well in front of the front wheel that you can open to access the headlights...I have pretty big hands so a lot of cursing was involved

Thanks, I was beginning to think I had a better shot at winning the $1.3 billion lotto than removing the side markers lol
