As above. I have the t55 bit, i know everyone says remove the bolts and pull it off but how exactly? It's got plastic clips which i dont want to break so is it slide off backwards or out from sides then back etc? I've had the bolts off easy enough but it didn't budge with a tug.

Pull it backwards, they are fairly tough so don't be too worried about them breaking.

will work better with two of you, one on each corner, pull straight backwards from each side, dont be afraid to give it a bash from the front near the wheel arch, the brackets are tough which is unusual for BMW!
