Could anyone help by explaining the location of the fixings to enable me to remove the rear bumper on my 5 only have "Haynes " car manual doesnt seem to cover rear bumper removal Many thanks John ,Nottingham U K

It's a fairly simple job. Just pull off the two trim pieces that wrap around each side of your bumper. Underneath are a total of 4 bolts that I believe are 17mm. It'll come right off. Sorry I didn't get back with you sooner on your PM John, work and family have me swamped.
