A member from Bimmerpost shares a quick DIY guide on removing and replacing front bumper reflectors. The whole process takes around 15-20 minutes. You will need an 8mm socket, flat head screwdriver or plastic molding cover to complete this task. This may come in handy for you guys in the future.
1. Locate the three 8mm screws along the front inner fender well.
2. Remove the three screws
3. Once all three are out pull the inner fender away from the bumper
4. Now your going to use a combination of the flat head screwdriver and your hand to pull the reflector away from the bumper.
*Note* do not allow the screwdriver to turn once it is between the bumper and the reflector as this could cause rippling in the bumper itself.
5. Now with the reflector removed you can clean out any remaining molding tape that is on the inner bumper. Also clean the inner bumper thoroughly before adhering the new reflector.
6. Remove the plastic from the reflector so the adhesive is ready then line it up through the inner fender. Once it is in place apply pressure both from the inside and the outside of the bumper to ensure a proper seal.
Here’s a look at the finished product:
