Hi guys, is there a guide somewhere on these forums on how to go about removing the front OEM M sport bumper on a pre-LCI e60?
Searched but no luck.
Thanks.

Not sure if there is a DIY, but there are 4-5 torx screws on top of the grill area and about 2-3 screws on each side of the wheel well. that's pretty much it. Good Luck!

I don't think you need to remove the headlights
