How would I get my Zender rear valance off my '87 chrome bumper 320i??

Two screws either side by the wheels, then knife the seal between the valance and bumper?? is it that simple?

If its anything like the mtech 1 you will need to remove the bumper and skirt as one. The bumper is attached by two screws accessible from inside the boot, near the wheel arches. Then there are two large bolts underneath the metal bumper which should come loose fairly easily, then just take the unit off and seperate. Your may also want to take the rubber end caps off the bumper, these are attached throught the wheel arches, with with a small hex headed screw - IIRC.

This could be totally wrong of course, as I have never even seen a zender skirt in the flesh!!

there should be two big "torx" bolts under the bumper that hold the bumper to the car, not to shore about the bits round the arches, soz :D
