I've been searching all over, but can't find a good set of instructions for replacing the outside ambient temperature sensor on an M-Sport. I've looked at the TIS and it shows the standard/sport bumper needs to be removed, but I can't find instructions for the M-Sport. Can't fathom why BMW would place the sensor in a position that requires the bumper panel to be removed.

On E38', E39's and many, many others its in a position that you're able to just lay on the ground, reach up, pull out, disconnect and replace. But no, on the E70 it says you have to remove the bumper panel first.

Can someone confirm that is the case and where is this sensor physically located? Then if someone knows how to remove the M-Sport bumper panel I would greatly appreciate the advice!
