Hey

Spent a day putting on a detachable tow bar last weekend. Pretty easy to be honest to do yourself. I didn't buy the rear splitter pre cut i done it myself any to be fair its not a bad job.

To take the rear bumper off there are

4 x 8mm bolts around the wheel arch in both arches

just under the bottom bolt there is a removable rivet (these gave me some jip so i pulled the plastic part off the bottom and pushed it up through so i could use them again.

if you open the boot there are two plastic caps on each bottom side in the corners. pop these off and there is a bolt there.

underneath i believe there are three more of those removable rivets i did the same with all of these

Thats is the bumper needs a little persuasion but it comes off.

The electrics are a bit of a pain i only bought the universal bit for 20 quid rather than 150 for the bmws specific.

i have all the wire colours ect if you need them i could post them. took some time fluking them....

 

hi can you link the wiring for this please

 

Anyone try the e70 X5 wiring harness package, seems like the parts would carry over.
