1) The alternator Duct mounts to the rear of the bumper. The fog light frame can be remove from the outside (carefully) without disturbing the duct.
2) The fenderwell is supprted with the same 3 bolts as the stock bumper, and 5 additional bolts under the bumper cover. The aluminum brake duct supports the lower bodywork under the front bumper. If you don't have this you cannot attacht the center belly pan.
3) The bumper cover comes off without removing the torx screws. They hold the bumper on teh vehicle. Take a closer look on you car, you will see what I mean. The hammer is used to lightly tap the locking pins into the plastic rivits.

As for Bekkers. They sell the kit to fit anything. If you want the parts to make it fit you car the way it is intended, you have to purchase SEVERAL Euro only Pieces. When you are done their $790 kit, $249 for lights, and $300-$500 for additional parts comes out to be much more that I offer the WHOLE kit for. This biggest problem is getting your local dealer to order Euro-Spec parts. I've spent the better part of the last 6 weeks negotiating with a local dealer to get any special order parts as long as I do all the legwork to ensure I'm ording the correct part. I'm not doing this to make a living, I just don't want to rock the boat by having everyone and their brother bug their dealers and BMWNA cut off the supply. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
