Removing front bumper to install Charge pipes

dphjr · 03-21-2016, 06:52 PM

Does anyone have an installation guide or write some tips for installing charge pipes? I got mine second hand, so no instructions on how to take off the front bumper, and whatever else is needed. Thanks in advance!

You can say thanks to Mike@N54 tuning. The guide says its for a 335i but it will be basically the same thing.

Remove the under panel to gain access to the lower charge pipe retaining clip. Disconnect from charge air cooler. Upper part of motor, I've found it easier to remove the plastic trim that covers your electrical connectors towards the drivers bulk head covers (1 t20 screw) and remove the throttle body...of course after disconnecting the charge pipe from it. After than its just a matter of maneuvering it out. It's a little tough cause of all the crap in the way but that's how it's done.
