Removing Rear Bumper Trim

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

The rear bumper is equipped with rubber trim that also has a chrome insert: these trims serve to protect the bumper from parking contacts and are an excellent solution to prevent scratches since the rubber can absorb contact without getting damaged. These trims are snap-fitted, so leverage at the joint line to release them, starting with the center one and then removing the side ones. During removal, avoid bending them too much as it may deform the chrome insert.
