I just wanted to say that your video was really helpful when I was troubleshooting some issues with my facelift E46 front bumper. It turns out there was nothing holding the bumper to the metal crash bar behind on mine, but thanks to your video I know I need to replace some captive bolts and nuts. Cheers!!

If you leave the two big bolts in, and remove all the clips behind the bumper molding, you can remove the bumper without the crash bar lol

Yeah you're right. But I had to swap my crash bar cuz the old one was bent. So I figured I would show removing it so it covered all the bases.

the mtech II bumper makes a huge difference in appearence but is not having the brake ducts really noticable? i want to do this to my '01 tour'r but was wondering about not having the ducts and fender liners to accept the ducts.

Hello, I have a question. Was it necessary to change the wheel arches to the M package and the air deflector so that such a bumper would fit? Or is just the bumper and sliders enough?

Easier to get at throttle body, CCV system, the MAF and Airbox are easier to remove, there is also no clutch fan on the M54 just the electric which is mounted behind the radiator instead of in the front like the M52 so you don't have to take off the whole front bumper to get at it.

The mounts at the end are held in place with 10mm bolts. You can access them from under the headlights after the bumper is installed. You have to remove the trim below the headlights to get to them. As far as the bolts that hold the actual metal bumper in place. You can access those with the bumper off. And could technically adjust them up and then slide the bumper on and check its fitment and then adjust accordingly. I'm not sure you could access them with everything in place.
