Instructions for Removing the Front Bumper

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Front bumper

To remove the front bumper, lift the vehicle and remove the front wheels to gain more maneuvering space for unscrewing the screws that connect the wheel wells to the edge of the bumper. Then, remove the push pins from the grilles located in the lower section of the bumper to unscrew the bolts that secure it to the impact absorber. At this point, detach the bumper from the sides and pull it forward to extract it from its position, being careful not to move it too much as there are fog light connection wires that will need to be disconnected through the appropriate connectors.
