Annoying Paint Depression

Hi guys, new to the forum and joined over this stupid little thing that's been eating at me. My 328i has a little paint "depression," I wouldn't really call it a dent toward the left side of the front bumper. It's visible if you really look closely and can be felt if you run your hand over it. Any opinions on this, anyone else had such a thing?

I live in LI bro, but I'm basically on the border of Queens. This annoying weather has me in need of a car wash so I just sprinkled some water near the area, sorry about the quality. It's that one faint line in the middle. Seems more of a paint thing than a "dent"... Pretty OCD about it but not sure much can be done

I'm guessing something probably hit your bumper. Keep in mind the bumper is plastic, so it won't "ding" like a metal door panel.

Yeah it's just like a little crease. Frustrating. A PDR guy estimated he could get it out for $200 but I am due to have some other touchups at a local bodyshop in March. Thinking I will just wait till then and have the bodyshop guy fix it as well but what is recommended? Obviously two different techniques that they would use.
