Im trying to switch out my kidney grills on my e90 but the torque screws on the top part wont come off? Am I doing something wrong or are they stripped? Any help would be highly appreciated!!!

Several people have complained about this. It seems the screws/holes strip easy. If you do a search you will find several threads. There's always the dealer!

Best thing to do is pull up on the top part (above the hood) While unscrewing, maybe even get someone to pull down on the screw as well. Hope this helps.

It is very common, happened to me too.
