Help Needed - 2022 X3 Right Side Air Vent Grille
Hello All - My six year old kid was goofing around and inadvertently broke the top part of the passenger side air vent grille. In trying to fix it I made it worse and i'm afraid would need to be replaced. The car just recently got 10,000 mile service and still under warranty.
However, dealership said its not covered under warranty. So, I bought the part on bmwpartsdirect but I have no idea how to remove the old and replace the new. Can anyone provide details or guidance on how to do this...or whether I should seek professional help (i.e. have the dealership or some other outfit install it)? |

This should not be an exorbitant cost to replace with your dealer. My bet is $150 parts/labor.
