i just did mine with plastic dip, i took pocket[tiny] flatblade screwdriver and slid one out then another and the bezel just kinda came out with some wiggling. slide out those little black retainers carefully as they will break easy, i broke 2, plastic was a bit brittle, luckily the bmw had some in stock so i bought a few extra , anyways thats how i did it, probably the guys on here have a better way

plasti dip is annoying for this part of the car. vinyl wrap it, when you get chips with plasti dip you need to remove and redip ...
