Little accident, fix or replace??
We called the cops and they were really cool. I thought they wouldve given me a bunch of crap since im driving in Switzerland with a NY liscence but it happened to be all good. My question is can this be fixed?? If it cant ill have to put on the aero kit. The car would look way nicer that way.

Anything can be fixed, that's why BMW has spare parts. If you were going to invest in the aero kit, just do it, now's a good time. What's your question exactly?

You can either go the easy way and replace the back bumper. You could even do it yourself if comfortable with tools (takes 30min or so) or bring it to a good detailing place, they may be able to polish the plastic and remove most if not all of the scratches.

I'm guessing by asking "how do you fix something like that" that you are better served by a body shop. Collect on your insurance or pay out of pocket but there's you answer. Not hard eh?

The nice thing about the black plastic bumper cover is that it is unpainted. Changing it is pretty easy and inexpensive. There is no way to repair it. Just have it changed.

if you ask me its not worth changing it just for the minor scraches. Take the money from the insurance. Someone had scrached my front bumber the damage was very minimal and with some plastic care kit stuff it hid the scratches. there still there but so far no one has noticed it until i pointed it out to them. Not even my dealer has noticed it.
