Need help! Please.

I'm not particularly sure how it happen but my guess is I hit a parking curb. How can I get it fixed? Will the official BMW paint touch up fix this scrape? Please help! Also, this maybe a stupid question is there such thing as spot repair warranty? Because I think I might have that. I purchased all the warranties they offered and I remember the dealer telling me about repainting scratches at the time I was buying the car.

Got to live with it or repaint a whole new bumper which will cost you a $G!.
Just enjoy the car and live with it. Shit happens!! The more you baby the ride the more it makes your go crazy!

Just buy a Carbon Fiber Lip. It'll cover that up and looks better. You just have to be more careful not to hit the curb

Yea, I would also just try to find a lip or splitters that would attach above the scrape. I don't think you can repair that by itself. If you try to touch it up it may be a little less obvious, but not worth it imo. If you can live with then just try to clean it out and it won't be as dark at least.

You may want to check with the F&I guy that signed you up. There is typically a paintless dent repair warranty but not sure about fixing paint scratches. I would just go ahead and buy some touch up paint. It is small enough that you can at least fill it in / cover it up.

He said it was a scrape - that makes me think the paint is gone.
