Agreed. I would say like $1k max. My friend had some redneck purposely smash a shopping cart into the front of his 1 month old m3. He had to get an entire new bumper and that was $2,400 for bumber + install from BMW. So something like this should be much cheaper.

that would be a non-appearance body panel & should be less expensive, is Tom Bush a stealership body shop?

can't really tell the extent of the damage with the pictures though
