discussion Scratched bumper G20

[Orapeleng10]

I have a scratched bumper as the image illustrates below. Is this fixable or will it need a replacement?

Can be fixed, take it to a reputable paint shop.

Very repairable not a big deal. Try find a BMW approved place would be my advise

R30k comment for a R3k job if he takes it to an ARC.

If you have a scratch and dent policy it may cover it.

I stand to be corrected it looks like alot of that could be polished out... Take it to a detailer and see what he can do for you... Afterwards you can decide if you wanna go through a bmw approved repairer to the repair the chipped and cracked sections ... Will cost you a comment on your plan but will save you the trouble down the line with motorplan issues or when you try to sell and someone thinks the car was in an a collision

More like R10-15K than R30K... and probably more like R5/6K than R3K if done privately. But this brings up the argument of whether (as a buyer) you go with the comforting lie of no paintwork no comments when your eyes tell you there was paintwork? or "There was a comment but at least there is a papertrail and it was at an ARC"

Hard to tell whether the grey is from a wall/object or whatever the bumper was primed with. They grey on the black suggests the former. Very possible it can be buffed out or at least improved.

Needs paint but can do a touch up and blend ...won't notice...do it privately
