Will this fit my BMW 3-Series?
Yes — this clip fits the BMW 3-Series F30/F31/F34 from 2012 through 2018. It secures the cowl grille panel at the base of the windshield on the engine side. OEM part number 16-13-6-753-087 is the correct clip for this application.
Does this fit MINI Cooper?
Yes — BMW OEM part 16-13-6-753-087 is also used on MINI Cooper (R55, R56, R57) from 2007 through 2013, as well as the Clubman, Convertible, Countryman, and Paceman variants through their respective production runs.
Does this fit the BMW 4-Series?
Yes — the BMW 4-Series coupe, convertible, and Gran Coupe (F32/F33/F36, 2014–2020) share the same cowl grille clip part number as the F30 3-Series. They use the same platform cowl panel design.
What hole size does this clip require?
This clip requires a 6.3mm hole. The 15mm head sits flush on the panel surface and the 8mm stem snaps through the hole. The compact stem length is designed for thin cowl panel sections where clearance is tight.
How do I remove a push-type clip without breaking it?
Insert a flat trim removal tool under the head and pry gently upward. Avoid twisting — this can snap the stem. On older clips, the nylon may be brittle; warming the area briefly with a heat gun before removal reduces the risk of breakage.
