bumper removal and year difference...

[seagel1000]

What tools exactly would i need to remove a front bumper on a 2007 328i?

My friend had a lil incident with another car in the 328i. What year bumpers would directly fit it? We are trying to look for another bumper (take off or semi used). Thanks!

To remove the bumper all you need is a socket set, some torx bits (T-30 if I remember right), and some patience. You will need to remove most of the fender lining on the front wheels, and there are some more screws up under the fenders. There are a total of ~30 screws you will need to remove to take it off, which is why I said you will need some patience.

Don't know about which bumper(s) will work for you though other than the stock one.

edit: Does the 328 have the cold weather package with headlight washers? These can be kind of a pain to remove, and you might end up stretching out the springs holding the washer covers on.

No cold weather package. Just regular headlights :D
