no need to take out tailight but need a special to unclip the tabs or else you most likely will break them

U dont need to remove the tail lights. However, you need to open the trunk and unscrew two screws hidden under the plastic covers near the tail lights. Wheels also do not need to be removed. Start from the fender wells on both sides and proceed towards the middle of the bumper. Use a very small flat screwdriver to push out the tabs or else u will break them! Good luck

NOTE: in the photo on the other thread http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...bumper+removal , the bumper shown is the REPLACEMENT bumper. They never show what the original bumper looked like after they removed it.
If you want to NOT break any tabs, you should remove the tail lights to access the 3 tabs under the tail lights. The additional nuts to remove the tail lights are worth it if you want to keep your tabs in tact. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...light=thursday |
