Stett FMIC Installation

Does anyone know if the bumper has to be removed on the Z4 to install the Stett FMIC?

I may be off base here, but I seem to remember someone saying they needed to trim the inside of the bumper cover lip to make room for the FMIC due to increased depth.

no bumper removal required, but you will have to trim a plastic mounting tab (on the radiator mount) with a drimmel, I think it was on the passengers side. Much easier with 2 people, but "do-able" by yourself with some cussing

Is there an older style that mounts only by the bumper support? Trying to figure out why there are so many pictures that show bumper removal to access the two bumper mount support brackets.
