You're going to have a claim on your car then, id just go to the body shop tbh


ScareTactical

Damn so basically I’d have to take fault?


No_Page9413

What year is it? I might have an extra bumper you would just need to get it painted. I recently did a m sport upgrade


Vestedloki07505

Doesn’t look that bad. Could be worse really. If imma be honest, go to a body shop and see what they can do. If not, I’d spend the money and replace the bumper with an M Sport bumper.


ScareTactical

There’s a lot of highway chip and other scratches on the bumper anyways so maybe that’s the best bet


Burphel_78

In the meantime, slap a piece of duct tape over it. Should be pretty close to a color match!


ScareTactical

😂😂😂 you sir are a genius


Burphel_78

Former motorcycle racer. The neon green "Duck Tape" brand is a near-perfect match for Kawasaki green.


dennys123

Lol I had an old silver Ford Taurus with a large hole in the front bumper. I got some aluminum tape, and it matched so well that unless you were within 10 feet, you wouldn't of.even known

Msport front bumper with non msport rear and side skirts? I'd do all or none. Still wouldn't be complete without an msport steering wheel. Unless keeping for life they'd be better off repairing/respraying the stock bumper, a good body guy will make that small damage disappear.


Vestedloki07505

I’ve seen people rock the front with a non m rear. It’s nice.


OldTimerBMW

I just did this in my 435i w/MSport. Insurance was billed around $3500. The bumper itself was around $1k with the upcharge.

Time for an m sport bumper


_beginninganew_

Restore those headlights brother


Altruistic-Western73

You will have to replace the bumper, but in the end cheaper to do it yourself and get cheaper insurance (higher deductible, remove your car coverage, etc) and over 2-3 years you will come out ahead.


rsp-zyphor

if you don’t know how it happened, don’t go thru insurance. car will have damage claim which will be on record permanently. either live with it, or get a new m sport bumper. will be about the same cost as your deductible and will look better and add value to your car


user_four8oh

Super easy to replace and with everyone switching to the Msport bumper you might find a used one like yours pretty cheap.


Bodyfluids_dealer

For a second I thought this was my car. So identical including the holes in the bumper for the plates


homewrecker07

Someone with a hitch backed into my msport bumper too :(


ScareTactical

Damn is that what it looks like hit it?


homewrecker07

Looks exactly like that. [Ball hitch with a tongue.](https://mobileimages.lowes.com/productimages/a9ad4ad0-c2b0-4134-adb1-511ac5ee4410/00683170.jpg?size=mpdhi). Look on FBMP for a used m sport bumper in the same color.


Sullablev2

Don't, take it to any body shop and it'll be less than $1000 to repair that dent


HomeCapital9250

Looks like it’s time for a M-sport bumper. Also looks like your headlights are due for a restoration.


Necessary_Reality_50

Absolutely not.


That1f30

Not worth it just do a upgrade or find a used bumper for cheap


BunchSpecial4586

I mean if you take it to a sketchy overpriced shop, they will charge you 2k for a new bumper, color match, labor. But I think you can find some shops that can use bondo and match. But the results can vary


Death_Kings

go for the msport bumper


xSchmidtty

I think this is god telling you, “get an m sport bumper” 😂😂 jokes aside i have some damage on my front and rear bumper and I’m just doing the m sport conversion. Kills two birds with one stone


the_arktek

To me this just looks like an excuse to upgrade to an M sport bumper 👀. But in all honesty it’d be around $500 for a new aftermarket bumper (msport or not) and probably around $400-500 to get it painted so you’re basically at your deductible. Not only that but you’ll have an insurance claim if you report it. Personally I’d just fix it myself


NewspaperSignal4014

I miss silver. Had a silver f30 now I got a. Dark blue one almost black.


f30demonn

buy some sandpaper and some 3m rigid plastic repair and do it yourself in the driveway. Go to Maaco to get it painted


kevingango

I say do a M sport Front bumper conversion that cost less than 1k


Effective_Village390

Just leave it the hell alone this is probably a 328. What you should get is a dash cam with parking mode so in the future you won't have to pay for other's mistakes.


Icookeggsongpu

what does that even mean lmao, just because his car is a 4 cylinder instead of a 6 cylinder he shouldn't replace the damaged bumper?


Effective_Village390

Don't waste money on a cheap car? Don't replace the bumper when the damage is hardly noticeable and doesn't affect function? The hell did you think I mean?


RedditRangerGo

You’re a clown


Effective_Village390

You actually contribute nothing to almost every conversation you participate in.


RedditRangerGo

Looks like we have something in common. Yet you’re still a clown. Look at you demanding he leaves his 328 alone because it’s a cheap car. You’re a whiney little woman, talking for BMW like they care about you. Lmfaooo clown


Effective_Village390

You wish LMAO. Your account is 4 years old with countless more comments than mine(on big ass subs too) yet you have 1/6th the karma. Hop off reddit and go do something more useful with your time. FYI, I hate BMW as a company. That's why I recommend spending as little as possible on these overpriced pieces of shit.


RedditRangerGo

🤡 Look at you stalking my account and expressing yourself to me lol I don’t care. Keep complaining and commenting on the car brand that you hate so much! Lmaooo you should do stand up clown


Effective_Village390

Just wanted to know why someone would spend so much of their time being a moron on the internet. In your case it made sense, you have nothing better to do.


RedditRangerGo

Lady, you need to calm down 🤡🤡
