Not sure about that one honestly. Working in that space can be really tight and difficult.

The bumper removal is really not horrible (there is a youtube E84 demo video that is nicely done). A few of the 10m fasteners are hard to reach but not that bad.

My tips for R&R:

1. Have the rivets available: 10 at least to re-attach fender

2. Have some pare u-clips for the T30 torx fasteners that may bend/break when removing. check parts diagram on getbmwparts or similar to see what I am saying: two top fasteners in engine bay use them for example. My 2014 had issues with 3 of the 10 or so to remove

3. If you have headlamp washers, pull up and remove top plastic clips

Once off, the headlamp can easily be rotated if you need to. Removing fully will require plugging/clamping washer lines if you have them, otherwise big puddle (BTDT).
