Help Please removing rear bumper on a 335i

sweetc6 · 02-01-2010, 03:35 PM

Hi, I have a 335i coupe that has a little bit of damage to the rear bumper. I would like to remove the rear bumper so I can take in and have it fixed. I don't want to leave my car at any body shop. Is there a thread that will show me how to remove it myself. Thanks in advance

So let me get this straight. You want to drive your car around in the winter without a bumper? Are you ok? Why in the world would you want to do that?

it's so simple

just take off the rear light to access the screws behind and remove the rear wheel and the wheelwelll or whatever is called. It takes 10 minutes max

I don't drive my car in the winter. It is stored on my lift in my garage. So I want to get it fixed before spring.
