Remove the Front Bumper of the BMW E46

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Front bumper

Is the bumper on your car broken? Do you want to remove it? Let's see how to take off the front bumper of a BMW. Unlock and open the hood, then locate all the screws that you will remove. Take off the grille-shaped plastic pieces on the front bumper. Unscrew the screws inside the bumper, then remove the screws located at the sides of the splash guards (between the splash guard and the bumper). Once the bumper is free from any screws, grab it with your hands and pull it away from the body (disconnect any power cables). Install a new replacement part.
