M4 Bumper scratched! What do I do?

Hey all. I've had my Alpine White for a month or so now. Someone backed into me it seems and scratched the area in between the grills.

What is the best course of action here as far as repair? What are my options?

AW isn't too bad to fix up. Call your trusted body shop and let them take care of it.

Funny story. Got it repainted at BMW. Leave the dealership and some plastic from the car in front of me falls off on the highway and hits my bumper scratching the freshly baked paint. Life is not without its struggles.

SMH! You're just not having it with your car.

Btw, they forgot to install the side plastic vent back onto your bumper. Or did the impact knocked it off?

Dang, that stinks for sure! Hopefully they take care of you repainting it this time.

It happens in life man. Same thing happened to me when I had my 335. 3 times after repairing. I would get a clear coat on the front bumper. Will protect the paint better
