Sorry to hear of your pain.
On the bright side, maybe go with an Mtech front bumper and grill as a replacement?

You backed into a dark dude? Ummm does that mean you actually backed into a live person? Did they Beat your car to pieces after or did they sue you for all you've got?

Make sure to take a photo of the metal spikes that caused it in case they fix it and you need evidence...
I always travel with my canon, took photos of the car, lot and building

I pulled into a walgreens pharmacy to purchase a bottle of cold water and visit the washroom, its South Florida hot weather time.
After my pit stop, I jump back into the Bimmer and pull out of my space, when I hear this awful sound from the front of my car, yes it's my bumper being pulled off.
One of the metal rebar spikes that hold the parking bumpers to the ground was sticking up about 6" and It just ripped the front spoiler and bumper out, shit was I pissed.
I go into the store fetch the manager and show him what just happened, the guy was really sympathetic and when I explained that I just visited his store to use the facilities and purchase a bottle of water, this guy says" Wow thats an expensive bottle of water" I have a sense of humor and had to laugh. Oh well the car was still driveable, but it's getting fixed Monday, I can't look at her this way.
Walgreens Insurance might pay they will let me know in a few weeks, either way I'm not calling my insurance for this, just another expensive day of driving. Whats amazing is I never heard that spike hit the bottom of the car. Bummer

That sucks.
You just have to be more careful.... but I'm sure that won't be a problem for you again.
I have the M-tech package, and I can't pull into a parking space because the front spoiler is too low. I wouldn't need a rebar spike to get me.... the curb, or a cement parking block is low enough already. I also have to be careful pulling in/out of driveway entrances. I have scraped bottom several times. Luckily, the scrapes are not visible unless you put the car up on a lift at the service bay.

Hope your insurance covers the damage.
