BMW E53 X5 rear bumper removal DIY

- Опубликовано: 21 янв 2018
- I wanted to share how easy it is to take off the rear bumper shroud on the BMW E53 X5.
In my case, I am taking it off to get it repainted and there is no reason to spend all of the extra labor time at a paint shop for them to take it off there. I can easily take it off, transport it to the shop and then reinstall after it is repaired. I am also going to replace the body clip that was broken, so the bumper will hang straight again.
You can also use this same process to pull the bumper to install tow packages, replace broken body clips for the bumper or other car work.
Also keep in mind that if you have PDC (parking distance control) in your car, you will need to unplug that module as you pull off the bumper. I don't so didn't show it.
It really is that simple..
Required parts and tools:
T55 torx socket
Long socket extension and long handled socket wrench
8mm socket
Nice to have:
Mount top clip (mine was broken, part number 51128402329)

Sorry man.. not familiar with that error, so my best recommendation is take it to a good shop if you haven't already.
5:27, do you happen to know what the part number is for the LOWER bracket? I can't find reference to it easily online. Difficult to find.
