Cant get the front off without getting under the bonnet (unless you snap it off), same for the back, you need to open the boot to get to about 6 bolts.

Seems like a massive cock up for BMW


Its to do with the ODB port and a buch a twats in east London with the Dealers tool recoding keys on the spot.

I'm getting my ODB relocated to somewhere else in the car which in theory should help

Quite shocking. Advances in technology, not so great!

This made me laugh from the thread on PH

On the older 3 and 5 series it's easy. Had loades at the BMW body shop I used to work at. Literally a 2 min job and pull off and you have a £500 Bumper.
