Pretty easy. Unscrew the bolts. Sides pop off.

Aaaah, one of those type of folk are we? Yes yes, we had those type of people on the S2000 forum.
Believe you me, i googled before I asked... loads of threads on the old Z4, couldn't find a sausage on the E89. :)

No offence intended, was in a joking mood, there is no write up that i can find but i did find the info below:

The info comes from a really good resource site
http://www.bmwfans.info

It look like the bumper is mostly clip in with a few fixings that i can see, would be a good effort if you could do a 'how to' to help the next person, good luck :thumbsup:
