Instructions for Removing the Front Bumper

Model: BMW Serie 7 MK 2, MK 3, E32, E38 - Years 1986-1994
Part: Front bumper

To easily remove the front bumper, it is certainly helpful to lift the vehicle on suitable jack stands (or a lift), remove the front wheels and then the headlights; at this point, proceed to remove the pins along the edges of the wheel wells and along the lower edge of the bumper itself (there are two fairly long pins inside the air intake grilles); finally, disconnect the fog light connectors and then pull the bumper forward while applying a rotational movement from top to bottom to complete the removal. If necessary, disassemble the internal elements of the bumper itself.
