I bought a new grill for a '01 740. It has a front chrome piece and a
rear
piece with the vertical "fins".

It is a clamshell. I assumed it would come with the parts separated, and
I
just put the pieces togeher on the car.

But no... It came with the pieces already put together. Anyone familiar
w/
this? Are these supposed to come this way? How do you get the #&^@ parts
apart w/o breaking off the plastic pieces?

Thanks, Bill

Thanks, I got the clam shell apart, but the 740 has more tabs that must be
kept in the right place. The grill positioning is done by six very flimsey
small tabs that have to go between the grill and the hood, and are a real
bitch. I tore them off & we'll see how it does.
