Guys
Hit my rear bump by accident.
Any suggestion on how to fix them?
Appreciate your help!

Take it to a body shop. No touching up at home is going to cover that and will probably make it worse. Probably a new trim piece needed also.

Thanks for the reply, I washed it a bit and it now looks like this, I already requested some quotes from body shop, costs around 1500-2000, so damn expensive, why touch up will not work?

Davit is a tough paint to match from what I understand. That might contribute? Might be a BMW tax in there also haha

I can't tell, but did cut through the paint? If it just cut through the clear coat you should be able to buff those marks out with a porter cable and some good cutting pads.
