Im wanting to remove the front bumper on my 1989 325 touring to cut a few strips out for the intercooler but cant find a guide for removing. Does anyone have a guide? cheers.

Couple of bolts on the underside (torx iirc), then just slides off pulling away from the car. Don't forget to unplug the indicator wires first.
