Small fender bender

Looks like just front bumper damage...not sure if can be popped back in or not.
Paint looks OK.
Kidney grills might need to be replaced.

How bad does it look to you guys?

Any reco's on bmw ///M certified body shops in CNJ or NNJ??


Any help appreciated!

Get a second opinion, and maybe a third until you get one you like

Probably a new bumper, but overall not too bad.

Once taking bumper off, you will know if it's ok.

At some degree bent, bumper will form back to its shape. If it's not, tell the shop to fix it as the paint still ok (IMO replacing bumper should be your last choice in this case)

For the fender, i had almost the same bent shape (from what i see in the pic), the shop took less than 10 minutes to hit it back. Not as easy as metal but fixable.

Cheers
