Repair costs estimate

Hi all had a little accident, just wanted thoughts on how much you'd think a repair bill would be for this damage to the front of my 2012 f30

No one can say from a picture. There could be damage underneath. Call your insurance company, that's why you have it.

No point going through my insurance as the damage isn't that bad, I've been quoted 500 plus vat for the bumper repair and the cost of the under tray, is this reasonable?

$500 to fix that would be a great deal - as long as they do a good job.

I'd replace the black piece. It is not that expensive (~$100 USD) and you show a lot of missing/lost pieces. It is called "Insert, air intake, center", could be this part number 51117263478, but you should verify. with dealer. The bumper cover would be much more labor. Some cracks are open and distorted. Cover has to come off in order to be done right with high quality. And then paint... hope the shop can match it well.
