DIY: E92 Rear Bumper Removal VIDEO (not sure if it's the same as E90)

Russian325is · 01-13-2009, 04:20 AM

I thought about doing the DIY almost at the end of the process; therefore, this video was shot from the end of the procedure to the beginning of it. So, it might sound that I repeat myself once or twice. Anyways..this takes a lot of patience to remove.

Good Luck.

Nice DIY guide! I would recommend getting a tripod.

Russian325is · 01-19-2009, 06:56 PM

Yeah, I got one after I did this video. But, I would still need to have it on my hand since the screws are on the bottom of the bumper skin. Also, the process to remove the bumper from the tabs require different view angles.

Thanks on the suggestion though.
