Grill swap

I was thinking to change my grill on my m440gc.
Was wondering if anyone has done it and had a DIY for it how to remove it.

Also I am curious what grill you got. Not interested in carbon fiber. Just want black to match everything else.

I also have Adaptive cruise module in front and would be nice to get someone who actually installed one and it did not interrupted the functionality of it.

I swapped out my G26 for an M3-style grill. Bought the replacement on eBay. Note: you must get a G26 specific grill. The G22 won't fit. Quite easy. No need to remove the bumper. Use a trim removal tool, start at the top, and slowly work you way around to unsnap the clips. Remove front camera. Transfer over the parking sensors. Done.
