Front camera cover on the i8 has cracked. Are there any guides out there on how to replace this part or does anyone know how to do it? I found the part: https://www.bmwpartswholesale.com/oe...SABEgL8sPD_BwE

Luckly it's relatively inexpensive.

I dug around the service manual online and couldn't find instructions for this piece. It looks like it may be held in place by two Torx screws. See the first picture in this service manual page:

I'd suggest asking a part's supplier how it's retained or if they could provide pictures of it. If it's not held in place with these Torx screws, it may just snap into place.

Thanks again for your help (: Sure would be nice if it just snaps in. I just ordered the part, I'll know for sure how it is held in place when it arrives and will proceed from there.
