standard back bumper removal

[netmgr]

anyone know what sort of bolts hold the back plastic bumper on, not the aluminum bit just the plastic...so i get the right tools before i take it to bits!

the bumper cover is held in place by some sort of plastic expanding rivet, not sure if this is a bmw only part, but im sure you can come up with something similar at a hardware store.

are you sure this is the case for the back bumper, i know the front is, but ppl are saying that its 4 bolts...unsure if its alen key or bolt..

the bumper cover is held in place by rivets, to the actual bumper. the metal bumper is behind the plastic, which is held in place by 4 bolts.

so presumably i have to take the plastic off first do i to get to the bolts?
