Front Disassembly BMW X5

Model: BMW X5 E53 - Years 1999-2006
Part: Front bumper

Remove 2 screws from 9 mm from the front wheel well. Separate the wheel well from the bumper using a screwdriver. Remove 2 bolts from 8 mm at the front, near the headlights. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove two plastic covers on the right and left of the license plate to allow access to additional screws. Remove the 2 screws from 10 mm. Still using the flathead screwdriver, take off the two fog light covers, then remove the 10 mm screws on each side. At the sides, below the license plate, there are two additional 10 mm screws. Finally, remove five screws from the bottom of the bumper. Disconnect the fog lights and the washer (removing the fluid inside, of course) and pull the bumper towards you.
