How did you get the side gills off the E90? I may be interested in taking your side gills if you're willing to part out.

well, the silver lining in getting fucked by the beltway (http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=567043) was that i was able to get the body shop that did the repair work on my hood/windshield (d&v) to pop the side markers on at no additional charge...also had them do my tint, which came out great as well...

how about $50 for the whole set?

This is the DIY I used when I helped my co worker -

unfortunately, as with many who posted on that thread, that diy wasn't even close to working for me...

I went this route (as I later posted in the thread):

I did have some trouble with the taped screwdriver method. The microfiber + screwdriver was not happening in the small gap. Ended up with two very minor bends.

I switched to a trim tool and had much better luck starting from the top. Tools can be found on bavauto under part number ST 9007.

And another method.

Ended up using zip ties (two of them) looped through the honeycomb as close to the front of the car and then pulling it out. The rest from there is self explanatory.
