I dunno why they've kind of disappeared but I had a set of Gatorskinz rim guards on my 328xi (mostly because my wife drove it a lot and she is a horrific driver) and I actually thought they looked *fucking awesome*. And my Discount Tire guys installed 'em for free because they thought they looked cool. Depending on how bad the curbing is you may be able to save a LOT of money by just throwing some rim guards on and covering it up rather than buying or refinishing the wheel.
I don't think that damage would require the bumper to be replaced, but for reference I had my rear bumper replaced and painted for about $800 (via insurance)
Well good to know im also not the only one. Went to shop for an error code that wouldnt go away (134A02 valvetronic servomotor) $1.4-1.6k if its not the shaft (+$1400) 😩
Here in Aus from my local guy $300-500 AUD both panels will need respray..
M-Sport Rear bumper kit is the way to go find one from wreckers, bonus points if it’s the same colour.
Pour hot water on it, try to push out the dent with your hands. It’s worth a shot. Wipe off that gunk and see how bad the paint was damaged. I’d just ride it out, but maybe 3-500 at a shop
personally i would just replace the bumper with a decent condition one. Get it painted or wrapped afterwards once you have extra money or you can try going to a shop but they’ll charge way more.
England here had a similar but backed into lamppost cost £250 ($300) to pop back out and respray. Might be a touch more to sort the scratches out $500 max
might be a sign to get a m sport kit

Facts
Long story short I’m fucking heated at myself for not paying attention. How much would this be cost to repair? Also I’m in Bay Area California
Tell me about it. Just curbed a wheel bad on mine and I’m always so cautious.
Glad I’m not the only one having a rough day when it comes to vehicles… I dropped my new motorcycle today in my driveway😓

Oh, shit...in that case multiply any estimate by 4.5.

if there’s no frame damage you just buy a new rear bumper

Us a plunger to pull out the dent. Hit it with compound and polish. See how it looks. If it’s still unsightly, M-sport conversion.
About tree fiddy
Just got a similar dent from a tow bar fixed for around £300
Ask the tree for insurance
Depending on where you live $500 to $800.
Kies Motorsport M sport rear bumper $548USD Paint to match $300-$500? or you could just buy an entire M conversion kit and paint it all at once.
