Rear-ended...

got rear ended today...theres some scuffs on the bumper and a dent in the tailgate. The bumper cover also rubs on the tailgate when I open it now. Im taking it to a certified BMW shop tomorrow. Has anyone dealt with this before? Should I be pushing for new bumper?

Also, does anyone know if CF diffusers are repairable? It looks like this one is cracked on the top of two of the fins...everything I have read says CF is not really repairable, at least from an aesthetic viewpoint.

Same exact thing happened to me and mine literally except for my CF Vorsteiner rear diffuser was missed lucky me. I had to have a new bumper and lower tailgate as that had a small dent in it bottom center. Think the total repairs were about $3500.
