front orange side markers E90

I'm new here so forgive me if I am asking a question that has been answered before. How do you remove the orange side markers that are on the nose piece of the E90. Look like the whole nose piece has to be replaced, if so how much should I expect to pay for one.

Nose piece? Front bumper? Heat gun.

I assume you have an LCI (2009+) E90? Its pretty easy to remove the side markers, I just did mine last week. They are held on by double sided tape, leave your car out in the sun to heat it up, spray some goo-gone around the sidemarker and peel them off. The hardest/longest part is peeling all the tape residue afterwards. You will have to unscrew a couple of bolts in the wheel well to get to the reflector.

Be really careful not to bend/break the thin piece on the bumper under the reflector.

Theres a ton of DIYs on this forum if you search, here is one:

Use a small flat tip and with steady pressure, if you need to, use a heat gun or hair dryer it is just sticky tape that holds them in.
