Someone tapped my bumper while my car was parked and it has a slight crack is this fixable or need a whole new bumper ?

It can be repaired, but it will involve taking the bumper off, repairing from the inside, and complete repaint. It will still be expensive.

Hit and run while parked, so typical of a POS. If the cost of repair labour is nearly as much as a new painted bumper then its worth to go with the latter. That said these mobile scratch and repair guys in vans can work miracles and worth a call.

Someone hit and ran my E92 while sitting in my driveway, I got a picture of the car as he sped away. I gave the picture to my insurance but it was ultimately declined because my friend wasn't a neutral witness? I'd file a claim and just pay your deductible, this is why you pay for insurance.

100% repairable. Expect a body shop to put 4-6 unit hours of physical repair on the cover itself, along with refinish ops. I'm not exactly sure what the going labor rate is in Baltimore but my guess is it's somewhere between 50-60 per hour. Nothing there that requires BMW certification either by the way, bumper cover repair is Auto Body 101 stuff that any qualified body shop can handle. good luck.

VP auto collision

Was it a hit and run??? OP doesn’t mention anything in that regards. Maybe the person is willing to cover the damage without getting insurance involved. There are some descent people out there.

Yea some fool hit my car while it was parked and took off. I’m hopping a shop doesn’t do me too dirty on price.. and I’m hoping to keep it off of carfax

shops say they don't report to carfax but my experience is that somehow it still gets on there.
