give its a coat of wax ( scratch X )its may help.

Ouch!! That would make me very unhappy...But it looks like it can be buffed out. Its not too severe. Use a rubbing compound wax first (preferably use a buffer) after that, then use a polishing compound wax (again use the buffer) and it should take most of that scratch out or make it look much better at least. good luck

I recommend you don't let the wife drive your X5 anymore...:rofl:

ouch... i remember when somebody did that to my car before, i was so mad and lost one night of sleep... i used a scratch remover and it was gone... dont forget to wax/polish your X after you use the scratch remover.

Doesnt look like an accident to me. :(

That does not look like an accident...

Use scratch-X
It should help.

Is that damage on your side mirror as well?
