I just removed my front bumper on my '04 E55 to do the euro bi-xenon swap. Took a bit to find all the bolts, but once you get the six major ones...it pops right off. Two on the top, two near fog nights, and two behind the fender well cover.

One tip...After you remove the bolts behind the fender well cover, you will find this slider piece with a pin near the front. This pin needs to be pushed forward to be released. That's the only part I had trouble with.

PM me if you need more details.
