Removing the kidney grill from BMW E90 E91 E92 E93 will be done in 2 stages:
1.Removing the grilles from the bumper 2.Removing the hood ornaments
Removing the grilles from the bumper
To remove the grills from the bumper , remove the screws at the top . You will need a T30 torx. Removing these screws is necessary to have access behind the grills.
Press each grill support clip until is released. Each grill has 7 support clips.
Installing the new grills is very easy. Place the grill in position and gently press it until it clicks.
Now you can tighten the screws of the bumper in place.
Removing the hood ornaments
To remove the ornaments from the hood, you have to remove the six screws, three for each ornament. You will need a T20 torx.
Installing the new ornaments is very simple. Place the new ornaments in position and tighten all six screws.

In this article I will show you step by step how to remove the gear knob for the majority of BMW models with a manual gearbox.
Most of the time, the BMW knob ends up peeling off and looking very ugly, and that is the time when we have to replace it.
To remove the gear knob , you will have to give it a slight left/right play and pull it strongly upwards.
!!!BE CAREFUL!!! – be very careful when pulling the gear knob. The gearbox would ideally be in gears 2 or 4, because when it slips, there is a chance that your hand will go into the rearview mirror and you will break it. I know at least 2 people who damaged their rearview mirror trying to remove the gear knob ?
To install the new knob, you must gently place it on the guide at the end of the rod and give it two blows with the palm of your hand to snap it into position.
REPLACEMENT TIME : 2 mins

If you want to know what is the meaning of your BMW dashboard warning , you are in the right place .
The dashboard warnings are divided in three categories :
Green/Blue Warning Lights :
Anytime one of your green indicator lights comes on, there is no need to be alarmed. These lights are just informational.
Indicators of this color inform you about the status of a car component , for example : (headlights on, door open, turn signal , etc )
Yellow Warning Lights :
Yellow indicator lights are a sign that there is a possible issue, and the yellow color is trying to tell you to use caution when driving.
If you see a yellow warning light, make sure you have your vehicle checked by a service technician as soon as possible.
Red Warning Lights :
If one of your red indicator lights comes on, stop the car immediately in a safe place and turn off the engine.
These warning lights inform you about a serious car failure or a safety issue that requires immediate drivers attention.
