That seems painstakingly slow to remove material. I thought someone posted a way to get access? I would like to know since I've just been hosing which has mixed results

This is a good question I have yet to find out myself after 2 years.

I've been using this Tekton 24in Claw

Works pretty well. They make a 36 inch as well. Cheap and easy.

I just leave them. Get it? No pun intended.

They will disintegrate eventually.

Does anyone else have issues with sticks and crap getting stuck inside the grille?
I haven't been off road (or off the track) and I have a ton of crap stuck inside.
Before it's brought to my attention I have a clear bra and those rubber marks are from Autoclub during Bimmerfest on Sat.

[derekh25]

I'm sure this has come up before, but I am unable to find a thread. Any tips or tricks to clean debris off your radiator

[Aaaaaaaaa]

Jeebus there's a soda can top and cigarette in there

I am interested to know this as well, can the grill be opened to clean by yourself?

Got this from Amazon and it works great. Here in Houston I get more crap thru my grille than you can imagine.

wheres the pic?

I tape a large straw to the end of my vacuum attachment and seal it all the way around. Go in through the grate and pull out whatever is in there, mostly leaves. They’ll stay attached to the straw from the suction and take them out one by one.

geez derek, that's a lot of stuff in there. i don't seem to get much in mine, but the lower grill on an E39 i had was frequently worse than that. anyway, considering your picture maybe you'd better have a look at your oil radiator.

I used this on my shop vac and worked great

[T1M3LESS]

Ended up getting a pick up tool from Amazon.
Worked out so far!

BROO WTF!!! I see you are northeast as well. I am still baffled how yours made it past the initial plastic air intakes. Mine wasn't a young lad. I am still intruqied by the mechanics. Do we drive by a pond in the sultry wet blanket we call the NE; and a frog decides to take a leap of faith....only to be
