Bumper fix

[rblood303]

Hi guys

So glad I bought an M3, it really has filled that void I was missing since I sold last car over a year ago.

Anyways, when picking up the car, I made an oversight due to excitement I'm guessing, and noticed that the front bumper has a scrape marks and cracked paint due to the bumper deforming. I don't have a clear picture but was able to find someone with a similar dent (dent located right to the centre of the chin).



I checked some photos of the car which were taken in my carpark the day after I picked it up, and I can see that the damage was there, though the picture is not so clear. Unfortunately, I only realised this a couple of days ago and had already driven 600kms (up and down the coast ), so I don't think I can argue with the dealership that it was there, plus it was a demo so I guess I may overlooked something which was there already.

So my question is, is there someone that you guys can recommend who can fix this without having to match the paint on other panels? Or will I need to purchase a new bumper and have it sprayed and installed? Mineral Grey is the colour.

Thanks in advance.

Grey or white ? If its dented as i see from photos i think its a replacement
Or a panel beater job. Either way not too expensive enjoy your car.

Mineral Grey, this picture is pretty much how mine looks like, but not as obvious. Was just using this white one as a reference

Do you have a ball park figure for replacement costs?

Sorry i didnt read thread properly. Here is something i found as a estimate for replacement but best just to go to a reputable body shop that bmw dealerships would use.
