So I would say this is not for the faint of heart. There will likely be some tricks to getting off the tail light trim without cracking it, for instance, and it will take two people to properly handle the bumper cover (do not let it twist or bend under its own weight or you'll risk flexing the paint).

Leave it to BMW to make installing a simple $150 hitch so hard... On my current SUV, the hardest part was lifting the hitch in place under the vehicle. I didn't have to pull any parts off the car at all.
The install is really simple but yes all that needs to come off

Curt released it !
