Soooo pissed! (pics)

I walked out of my Doctor's office the other day and found this:




The flash makes it look worse ,but I remembered yesterday how it happened and I was on the phone and couldnt do anything in time to avoid the object in the road. To me it looked like a folded up shopping kart. My question is, without getting a new bumper or it repainted is there absolutely anything I can do? Im lucky due to location because its not really noticable at all ,however in my mind its there.

It just sux all the time and care you put into your car and you get this in return. Life is unfair ; )... Maybe it was Karma?

PS: It sux they dont make those carbon fiber pieces for the regular 135 front end... I'd get those to cover it up.

feel your pain

i understand how you feel. i saw a movie with a friend last month, parked far away from everyone else. by the time i came out, the spots had filled up. some A$$hole teenager probably who didn't know how to park, sideswiped me and dented/scratched the rear quarter panel and wheel well. 2k and 3 weeks lost, it's finally fixed. no note so it's all on me. luckily, my friend hooked me up with his dealer loaner 328xi so i didn't have to pay for a rental.
i phucking hate people.

I have a similar scuff from a highway rock...I'd let it go...something similar is destined to happen again. The next time, you won't care so much. I use to be very uptight about the car, now after a few nicks and scratches I feel SOOO much better. It's a car, a great one, but not an antique or classic...just drive it like a BMW is meant to be driven. It'll still drive the same, and you'll feel better, and with blood pressure.

I wouldn't touch it up yourself, it never turns out just right if you do it yourself
