Okay, not sure if im the only one but in order to try and preserve my car in the best condition as i can, I take care of the thing.
-for example, you dont park in spots that one can just barely fit and is between 2 big azz vans/trucks with grills or hitch's attached to them.
Right? So i had to go to my wifes bf's birthday in brighton beach, and i leave a nice 25-30 foot spot for a nice sized car could fit in comfortable WITHOUT bothering me. BUT NOOOO...some sucker
had to be lazy or DRUNK that he had to pull out widely and GET A NICE 8 -10 inch SCRATCH ON the corner of my sh*t. Had to be a truck or van cuz that sucker was pretty high. There was an 08 audi a6 that was gonna get a touch up job if it had white paint on it but...nah...he wasnt the culprit.
I know its not that bad but still WTF!!!??? GOD FORBID People like this just take the extra time to be cautious of other peoples cars..REGARDLESS IF ITS NICER THAN THERES...i mean i know we drive e60's but cmon!!!

Dam, sorry to hear and see. As hard as we try to protect our cars there's always going to be some things we just can't control: like dumb-ass drivers. But look at the possible bright side...M-Tech 
Do you plan on repairing it? How deep is it?

Perhaps a little rubbing compound could do it. Some PDR services actually specialize in bumpers as well (most only deal with just the metal parts). My wife took a soda can to previous car and dinged the bumper really good. Bounced thru 3 PDR services before finding a guy that specializes with bumpers only.

perhaps there is a similar service near you. Try calling a few PDR places and see what they can do for you.

haha, she was on the freeway, some genius decided to let loose a full unopened soda can onto the freeway, bounced once then right into her front bumper. Left a nice sized ding in the plastic, no paint damage tho.

lol...thats crazy. But its sometimes hard to avoid things like that. 2 weeks ago i was on the expressway, A SAFETY CONE fell off a truck...RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LANE cars on all sides and i was doing like atleast 80...BY THE GRACE OF GOD the dude in the next lane slowed down and gave me just enuff room to swirv out and back into my lane...
but im almost positive someone was on their cell that day and wound up nailing it. Hope it wasnt a fellow 60r

Ouch, Ya I hate those who are not careful. Seriously... how hard is it really to just be a bit more cautious?
