To do it the way BMW's instructions state, just remove the bumper cover. You will need to lower the exhaust pipes by removing two nuts from each side of the exhaust hangers. This will give you enough room to remove the T-55 bolt. Having a helping hand to slide the cover off will make it easier.

Do I need to disconnect the PDC cable before removing the bumper Cover? If so, any comments how this is done (i.e. disc battery or not etc.)
Also, are there 4 tabs underneath where the bumper is mounted to the lower part of the vehicle, that need to be disconnect? I've seen this reference on other posts?
