A fix is possible but takes time and car will be off the road whereas replcement can take months.

That sounds about right. I have claimed on insurance after hitting a big badger at 70, and the cost came to £8k and then £2K for the hire car on top as it took 2.5 months. The good thing is that the badger damaged the AC system so that and all the pipes are sparkly new bits (not covered on warranty!)

Speak to Julian/Anthony @ Simpson Motorsport. They can repair carbon and have done loads of CSL bumpers. It'll save $$'s and shouldn't take too long either.

I cancelled it in the end found a new one on ebay for £800.00 (like new)

I remember that bumper, is there still a drink in it for me??

As AlexGTT says Simpson’s can repair it, I think the last time I was down Julian said they have a new mould to make bumpers.

I too have first hand knowledge of the problems involved with bumper damage.
Someone hit me from behind while I was stationary on the M25 in traffic. This pushed me into the car in front hence the bumper damage. This happened on May 15th 2008. I picked up my car from the dealers on December 22nd 2008!
This was because of waiting for the front bumper. I was also given many false dates and promises along the way which I reported to BMW UK. Now got a chip free bumper, but also all the other things like having to admit an accident to insurers, reduction in car value when I sell, and seven months without my car!

I was only stationary in the traffic queue!

I'm sure the person who hit me had a new car within weeks.
