My Ride: 2008 535i 6MT
Part of a low speed four car sandwich. I was number 2 in line. Number 1 had no damage. Car 4 had heavy damage as well as the rear of 3. The idiot in 4 failed to pay attention in heavy traffic.
Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. I avoided plenty of idiots on the way home but you can't avoid those you can't see.
Result:
Dented front plate holder
Plate to the left rear bumper covers
... going to explore installing M-Tech.

Sorry to hear and see...an M tech kit should brighten up those blemishes 
. Going to go thru your insurance? If so, just pay the difference for the kit versus a stock bumper repair.

. I'll kick the rear bumper tonight so I can convince my "boss" to get the M=tech kit
