I don't think you would've asked about the M-tech if TRULY didn't want it. GO FOR IT. But seriously, with a dent like yours you will have to get it sanded, filled and repainted. I don't see any body shop properly treating that dent without painting the whole bumper over.

check your BMW dealer, their CPO department probably has a bumper repair guy, mobile operation that has all the right fillers and paints for a flexible repair to your bumper.
