Instructions for Removing the Front Bumper

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Front bumper

To comfortably remove the front bumper, position the vehicle on appropriate automotive jack stands and remove the front wheels, the plastic wheel well liners, and the front headlights: this way, you can easily access the inside of the bumper to disconnect the power connectors for the fog lights and the cooling air ducts for the brakes; to complete the removal, it is necessary to detach the black plastic center clips beneath which are the mounting pins for the bumper itself; finally, detach the side from the fender and remove the bumper from its location.
