How to remove the front bumper on BMW 3 Series? It's easy. Lift the hood and secure it. Then, use a plastic or metal pry tool to remove the retaining clips located at the top of the bumper.

Once the clips at the top are removed, unscrew the screws located in the splash guards (remove the pins located at the bottom of the bumper). Remove the bumper from the vehicle body by hand and disconnect the wiring harness.

After removing the old bumper, install the new piece with all the necessary mounting components.
