Dealing with Curb Rash?

I try my best to avoid pulling up to the curb in a parking lot, but sumtimes I just dont realize it.

I seemed to have picked up some small scratches on the bottom of the front bumper. Minor but still visible if u look under the bumper.


Whats the best action to take from here?
Just deal with it?

Get a copy of the E90 Accessories Catalog from your dealer. Your question will be answered by the pic on the front cover (and on page 4).

don't stare at it, you will loose and . Just look at the overall appearance of your car and not think about the bottom part of your bumper. Hope that help.
