Question How to remove the front bumper?

Has anyone had experience removing the front bumper? Where are the screws/clips holding the bumper in place? Any thoughts or suggestions?

1) Remove 4 screws on top of bumper ( under hood, above kidney grills)
2) Remove 2 screws in each wheelsarch, and clip bumper trim away from wheelarch trim
3)Push wheelach trim away so you can unfasten 2 screws inside holding top part of bumper too the car on each side
4) Release about 7 Screws on bottom of bumper from underneath
5) Remove bumper by uncliping each side and then pulling bumper forward

That link is dead, and their site seems to be screwed up, when you click on the E90 it takes you to accessories, it actually does it for a few cars not just the E90

If you have headlight washers, you need to take the washer caps off first as well.
