I damaged my side skirt while on vacation a couple of weeks ago. I'm getting the replacement from getbmwparts.com. It's primed but not painted. Cost approx. $280 plus shipping. I ordered it last Wed & tracking says it'll be here Tuesday.
I found the same part at a couple of other places for slightly less $ but I've had good results dealing with getbmwparts.com in the past.

Some day when I find time, I'm gonna take a heat gun to the damaged skirt & try to repair just to see if I can.

I would either just buy a new one and have it painted.

If you need help, reach out, I have a REALLY good painter I use for clients cars...has done everything for me from mineral white, tanzanite, sahkir orange, alpine white, BSM, laguna seca blue....all the harder ones and the color is spot on.
