Does anyone have access to, and can share, the BMW F80 rear bumper removal procedure?

Thanks.

If it's like the F82, and it should be, it is quite simple. I will be doing a DIY write-up soon. Remove a bolt from under each drip rail (by outer tail lights). Remove visible bolts all along the bottom edge. Remove two bolts parallel to the ground in each wheel well. Push back the liner slightly and remove a single torx screw (T20 I think) attaching the bumper to the fender (perpendicular to the ground).

Bumper should now be free. Grab from the fender edge and gently pull it up and back to release tabs holding it on. Repeat on the other side and the middle. Be sure to apply masking tape all along the upper edge to protect the paint. Keep something 10" or so tall under the bumper to rest it on after removal so you can unplug the PDCs; the wires are short.
