    Front bumper removal help?

    https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_0644

    Link is my front bumper on the ‘89. I am about to replace my a/c condenser/dryer and reseal the system.

    My concern is, how many plastic clips will i break removing the black bumper strips and anything else? Which parts should i order to have at the ready?

    Also, I’ve never removed a bumper and I’m not sure how to do it. I assume I will need to pry/snap out the lights, black strip, and then I will see how to do the rest?

    Pointers from you all are greatly appreciated.

    Remove the bumper by unbolting the mounting of the gas shock ( items 12) and pull the entire assembly forward. No need to remove the plastic trim.
