Ok - I am finally giving up and asking for help after searching and not finding all the help I need.
As the title says, I need help removing a mtech bumper....the only directions I have are to remove the stock bumper, not a mtech...can someone help out?
Here are the stock bumper directions: https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showto...mp;#entry326061
So, all I know to do right now is to remove the 5 bolts on the top of the bumper as the mtech and stock are the same in this regard.
So, what is the next step? Also, is this rather difficult and if so, should I get a professional to do it?
Thanks !
This is all I know right now, what is next:

I am not trying to bump this thread but I could really use some help....has anyone installed a mtech bumper that could tell me where all the bolts and/or clamps are? I really have no idea where to start after removing those 5 bolts.

the mtech bolts on almost the same as the stock bumper. use the instructions you linked in the other thread.
i believe that there are only 2 bolts in front instead of 4, on the mtech.
it not very hard. probably the hardest part is sliding the bumper out from the fender. there is a plastic piece on the fender that holds the bumper.

Ok....well I removed the bumper this weekend. Since I never really got any good directions, I thought I would create a DIY for those down the road...hope it helps.
