From the look of the photo, there is definitely a spot where the paint is completely rubbed off. So, to make it look right, it'll have to be feathered out and the whole bumper will have to be painted to make it consistent.
Some higher end body shops will spray halfway up the side of the car to blend then clear/paint properly. Thus, adding to cost.

They will take the panel off, and paint the whole thing. It is about average.
I had similar damage fixed twice, after our vehicle was hit on two separate occasions (each time the scum back who hit us cleared off)....I took it to an award winning indy, and he painted the whole thing, removing the panel each time. I paid 300 CAD (cash deal) on each occasion for flawless work. You don't have that luxury.
If this was my vehicle, you would get one chance to pay the estimate amount...and that estimate would be from a BMW approved body shop.
That's the way she blows...
