Cost of New Front Bumper Cover + Paint?

Anyone know the cost to have the front bumper cover replaced, including paint, for a MY2016 M2? Asking for a "friend" who thought his car was in neutral this morning, popped the clutch out, and launched into his toolbox leaving a big crease in the bumper cover plastic.

Not sure.... but your friend should consider the Euro bumper without the ugly orange reflectors... I know Ind sells them. Maybe they would give your friend a good deal?

The plastic bumpers have a pretty good memory, they often pop back in to shape with some heat from a heat gun and a little pressure. Is the paint damaged or is it just a crease? Check out some youtube videos, it works pretty well.

It's a sharp crease. Worth a try though. Thanks for the tip!

Ah, yes. Typo. Purchased in December of 2016 so I always think of it as a 2016.

Did you get a quote on yours to fix it?
