Sorry to hear that brother, looks like the scratch is below the paint which means it can not be buffed out. Go to a body shop with a BMW color match paint stick and clear coat. The should be able to touch it up.

thank you, any rough ideas on dollar amount?

The first one is always the most painful. Sux. I guess it's part of the cost of living in NYC.

car is barely used, garage kept and now this!

... and then people wonder why other people get so upset over this kind of things

That's so annoying. It would annoy the hell out of me until I got it fixed.

For a bumper respray at a reputable shop is gonna run you $400- $480 range. Doesn't look like it needs any body work from the pictures

300, I have a shop in brooklyn, proper job, quick turn around.

Same happened to me a few weeks back when we got hit with that last snow storm. Fixed it up, bumper looks new. You can't have nice cars in NYC, it's tough keeping the clean and damage free. Not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Being that we are both in the NYC area would you be interested in getting some Bimmer meets started this summer?

Yes, I would!

Camnyc · 04-10-2015, 10:31 PM

if you want it done the correct way, you will want to get the full bumper resprayed.

carzaddict · 04-20-2015, 09:44 AM
