Thanks for the info! I just brought it to a respectful body shop in my area and this is the same thing they told me. I am gonna have the bumper cover take off tomorrow, realign it to the body, heat it up and reshape the damaged area (i can't even tell from normal viewing distance). Will also have them inspect any inside damage as well. Thx for everybody's help/advise and that really add up to my BMW experience (I used to own a rx8 and they have a pretty decent forum as well).
