How to remove the little grill M440i 2021

Hi

My little radiator is full of debris on my 2021 M440I.

I tried to flush them with water from inside the wheel but no success.

Anybody ever tried to remove the little plastic grill?
That would surely give me access to that radiator.

Thanks for your help

You cannot remove without taking off your whole bumper I believe. That’s how my old F32 4 series was like.

Wow!!

Very sad to hear that.

I will ask again the dealer to clean it.

Thanks

Rather than flushing with water, how about trying a high powered vacuum cleaner with a narrow suction head? Maybe even like what you'd typically see at public car wash for vacuuming the interior.

Thanks, good idea. This should do the trick indeed.

Cheers.
