I think you need to remove fasteners under vehicle that holds them on to the body and then start either at the front or rear of the car by pulling them out.

is there any hidden fasteners i should be aware of?

Not that I know off they should be all visible from the bottom.

Not an F10 but an F30. Hopefully they're pretty much the same. For the search I used "BMW F10 side skirt removal."

There are a bunch of fasteners along the bottom, some of which are consealed under black plastic under paneling. Remove them all then it just pulls/snaps free.

There are a handful of push pins and a few screws towards the rear and a couple of screws at the end. There is 1 hidden push pin around the middle of the car. Remember to re-use the metal clips at the end and I'd recommend putting some thick tape on the skirts where the rear door hinges are because when you pull the skirts off, there's a high chance that you'll scratch them from the door.
