Installation of M5 Engine Parts for Front Bumper (STEP 3)

This cover has seven Philip screw heads. This cover also has the access door to the oil pan plug. Remove the whole cover.

If the front fender liners (ahead of the wheels) have not been completely removed, do so now. SAVE the hex head screws--they will be used with the M5 Front Fender Liners. Top

2. Removal of the Brake Air Channels

There are several screws to remove. SAVE all the screws. We will be using them to bolt on the M5 Brake Air Channel. If the M5 Brake Air Channel is missing some Clamps (51 71 8 176 503) that allow the screws to tap into, remove as many as needed. Set the stock channel aside. Top

3. Removal of 2 clips from the Stock Bumper

There are 2 clips that need to be removed from the stock bumper. They are located at the periphery/ends of the bumper. The lateral most screw from the front wheel liner screws into this position. Remove and place onto the M5 Front Bumper into the same position. Top

4. Trimming of the Front Air Duct Rubber Box

Using a razor blade, cut away the rubber trim around this air duct box otherwise the rubber will fold and will become visible once the M5 front bumper is installed.

Clean out the leaves, cigarette butts, and other debris from the radiator area. After the M5 Front Bumper goes on, these areas will no longer be accessible without taking off the whole bumper. Top

5. Removal of the Headlight System

There are 4 bolts that hold the headlight assembly to the engine frame. The top two are hex head screws that require an 8mm socket bit. The lower two require a small Torx bit on a screwdriver handle. I don't know the size.

Unplug all the connections. Remove the unit by pulling the side near the middle of the car outwards to the side of the car.

Place aside in a safe place. Top
