Removing '84 280i bumpers
Discussion
Without pictures of which version car you have... but early cars had M8 bolts (two in/under the indicators and one central under the number plate), holding the bumper on with a plastic C section captured on the edge, which as such stopped the bumper moving (as well as being a decorative finisher).

I hold my hands up as I have never removed one of those versions...BUT I can only presume the same...as for head lamps turn them on ...remove the battery positive and then there are 2 minor screws to remove the lightweight plastic trim, three or four screws to remove the bowl with the headlamp connected to the motor pivot (circlip) and plug connector. The things that I find matter is upgrading the silly bracket 'stop' with drilled piece of hose to the grommet version and the rubber grommet sliced in two that limit travel to the right and left between the shell and the pod (they go missing!)
