How to remove Front Bumper Cover On BMW E39 5-Series

[@mathhits]

I’m parting out an E39 right now and just found your channel - thanks for the simple and concise videos, this was super helpful!

[@arttin497]

Thanks!! I just fixed mine in less than 30 minutes based on your directions! Thanks for the effort you put in the video. Your work is much appreciated here.

[@bimmermerchant]

Toring497 Glad we could help

[@MrAviationist]

Wow its much simpler than I thought it would be. Thanks for the video!

[@bimmermerchant]

No problem.

[@LimitlessCXIVI]

Bro thanks so much for such an informative and clear video. The stealership wanted to charge me $400 something for the bumper and replacement. The M5 sport bumper is only like $200 something so might as well do it myself and save a lot of money but also upgrade the look of my car. Again thanks! You got a sub, like and your video is saved on my playlist.

[@bimmermerchant]

Thank you so much for this great feedback. We're so glad this video was helpful to you . Please feel free to share our channel.

[@ic1099]

Hi! I was hoping to find a comment like this--so as far as you know, an M5 bumper cover will fit a standard (ie non-M5) 530i, so long as they're both intended for the e39 base?

[@coachwilson5967]

Nice video. You did a great job explaining the whole process. Thanks !

[@113tidbits]

Nice video. I can definitely do this on my car with your clear directions. My passenger side was snagged off a few days ago. Thanks again. Subbed.

[@bimmermerchant]

113Tidbits Thank you. You should have no trouble completing this task. Let us know if any questions

[@113tidbits]

bimmermerchant will do.

Wonderful job explaining and showing all the key points in a very timely fashion. Thank you very much.

[@bimmermerchant]

You are so welcome!

[@farufas]

Awesome directions, I got a question after removal of this bumper is it hard to put an m5 bumper. I have the same bumper as the one in the video. Thanks

[@bimmermerchant]

F Sohail M5 front bumper should slide right in. You will have to change the front lower splash guards and fog light connectors since they are different on M5 Front Bumpers. And please, don't buy aftermarket M5 bumpers. Most are mass produced in china with very low material quality. Used OEM Parts are better than new Chinese.

[@asmircar1]

i wanna know how to upgrade to m sport look.... do i have to change any plastics under motor ? there are air brake channels and many more stuff under there....

[@alexanderventurini3392]

Thanks man I couldn't figure out how to change out those fog bulbs. Great video, appreciate the help

[@bimmermerchant]

Glad we could help. Thanks for watching

[@ShovelMonkey]

[@badboyjmm]

Allan Simangan I have the same issue but on the driver side. Go to the link www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=DT53-USA-02-2001-E39-BMW-530i&diagId=51_3723 You want to order parts 12, 13, 14, 12 is the actual bracket

[@spencermaiers8322]

You're a legend BimmerMerchant!

[@bimmermerchant]

Thanks

[@massari4u]

excellent video man. thank you so much,. My parking sensors is bad so I need to find out which one is the bad one. thank you

[@patrickpereira490]

This video was extremely helpful! Thank you. I do have a question. I have a 99 528i. If I found a m5 style bumper, will the steps be the same in re-installing the bumper?

[@bimmermerchant]

First off, please make sure that M5 bumper is factory, OEM. If you are buying an aftermarket, it will not align properly with your fenders and worst off, you will have issues when painting it. Anyhow, to answer your questions, YES, same removal process. Hopes that helps

[@patrickpereira490]

Dude you answered my questions and even more! I really appreciate the help. Have a good one

[@TimothyForeman]

Thanks for this. I need to replace the AC Condenser Fan and the bumper has to come off to get to it. This video showed me exactly what I needed to know to remove the bumper.

[@bimmermerchant]

+Timothy Foreman Thanks for watching our video and we are glad our video helped you.

[@TheMysticSpade]

But what about the hardware holding the bumper bar to the bumper cover?

[@johnJohnson-vm7oy]

Cool video. What do think the price should be at a junk yard?

[@bimmermerchant]

Thank you for watching our DIY video. Don't know. Please share our channel with anyone who might be beneficial to.

[@brianmiles7796]

Hi good video, I'm looking to fit parking senses on front, has the bumper marks on the inside showing were to fit, or can it be done without removing the bumper, you replay would help a great deel.

[@joebeast2010]

love the video my man.... but i was just wondering it should be the same as well for a 325ci e46 model i believe right because i dont think i seen any videos by you doing it for that model

[@davidpringle7593]

Excellent video. This step by step guide was really helpful to me. Thanks!

[@frankarandajr3138]

great vid. do you have the front bumper in the mint green color. for a 02 540i

[@bendo425]

Good video ! I am having trouble reusing the plastic pull tabs; I might have missed your tip on protecting those tabs. I may just have to buy new ones.

[@bimmermerchant]

Basu B due to the age of some of these parts, they might break and replacement will be required. Check out our website, we might have some good tabs in stock. www.bimmermerchant.com

[@gm2655]

Thanks. Im working on same car right now. Auxiliary fan infront rattles when AC switch on

[@bimmermerchant]

something must be loose. let us know final result. thanks

[@Elwooddudes]

[@bimmermerchant]

[@CrazyBosnian3]

I have a facelift bumper on my BMW 525D E39 and i have to place now the ventilation grill underneath the bumper. If i look so the grille is higher then the space between the bumper. I have a original ventilation grill does it's fits on a facelift bumper or do i need a special one for the facelift bumper ? and btw your video is perfect clearly explained man

[@bimmermerchant]

Hello, Parts on Bumpers manufactured between 2001-03 (facelift) are not compatible with previous manufactured bumpers. Maybe that is why ventilation grill is not fitting properly on your facelift bumper. Check out our website for E39 facelift parts at www.bimmermerchant.com

[@CrazyBosnian3]

bimmermerchant i fix the ventilation grill it fits i only need the left and right one. When i saw Your video i thought it must fit thnx anyway for Your video man

[@marioperez-kb2wl]

Reason to remove the bumper is the fit there are gaps between the bumper and the body. I have not take the bumper off so I am not sure if the brackets are loose or broken or if the bumper's insides are ok. If the brackets the bumper slides into are damage is that an easy fix?

[@poomped53]

Helpful video. Protip: if you have headlight washers and parking sensors, this gets more complex :)

[@napper1496]

need to fit my msport bumper but my non msport 1 has washers etc so need to cut out holes etc.FUN eh?

[@pianothatilove]

Great video, simple but yet to the point

[@bimmermerchant]

That you liked our video. Hope you also subscribed for future DIY videos. Don't forget to share as well. Thanks a bunch.

[@domdell6777]

How do the headlights come out?Do they need to come off to take that condenser fan out?THAT MONSTER SHROUD and the snorkel look like they hinder the job...condenser fan replacement

[@bimmermerchant]

Headlights don't have to come out, just your front bumper.

[@iamdominic4427]

straight forward i like these kind of videos

[@milesborg9812]

Nice video, very helpful. Wonder if anyone can help.. if I take my pre facelift front bumper off and put on a sport front bumper, is it a straight swap?

[@bimmermerchant]

Miles Borg Yes, existing bracket holders are the same. Lower splash guards and fog light connectors are different.

[@punkroq]

my bumper has come lose on the right side (passanger side) is there an easy way to attach it back to that side slot without taking the whole bumper off? thanks.

[@bimmermerchant]

Sorry to say that you need another bumper. We've seen many people try putting all sorts of industrial glue with no success.

[@aros007z]

Awesomeness

[@bimmermerchant]

Thank you for watching our channel. Feel free to share our channel with anyone that might benefit from it.

[@Daniel-nh3bk]

Would it be the same process for a 1995 525i?

[@bimmermerchant]

Hard to say. Both cars have front bumpers held by two large screws, only question would be how to access the head of that screw to remove. We haven't had the opportunity to work on 95 5-series models so our information is limited, however, we encourage you to start be removing front trim since bolts are usually cover with these trims. Good luck

[@marioperez-kb2wl]

So I have the bumper off now I have to remove the reinforcement bar, headlight washer fixture, fog light bracket etc. to use on the new bumper cover but having trouble find a new one with the headlight washer holes. Rubber hose to the headlight washer was so brittle it broke as I tried to remove it. I need help finding a bumper cover that is less than $500 point me in the right direction, I have not been able to find a good fit yet.

[@tamasballa805]

mine has parking sensors on the front and the hack but on the front lett side the sensor fell in do I gave to take the bumper off to get to it?

[@bimmermerchant]

removing bumper will make replacing sensor much easier, unless you got skinny hands and can rear in the back of bumper and set sensor in place. www.bimmermerchant.com

[@jamesalcianas8296]

Is it the same for the 525 I 94?

[@bimmermerchant]

No, different bumpers
