Rear Bumper Removal? DIY?

harlequin314 · 05-01-2008, 02:24 AM

Hello,
not sure if I should have posted in the DIY section but wanted to know if anyone can help with a DIY for this? Got some dings and was able to get a new rear bumper from a member but want to be careful doing the removal and install.

thanks

Yes, if you search on my ID, I posted on my experience. I removed/replaced without damage to the bumper cover.

Attached please find the instructions from the BMW TIS web site. They should be pretty helpful.

The only hard part is getting the sides out of the tabs without breaking the loop on the bumper itself. If your plan is to replace the rear bumper, don't worry...yank hard. Otherwise you will need to really take your time and work each clip carefully.
