I plan on keeping my E90 for a long time because I prefer the way it drives compare to the F30. Thanks

The body shop I go to is first rate and have had other cars (BMW and non BMW) repaired there. You cannot tell it's not the original cover. As a matter of fact my E46 M3 Silver Gray metallic bumper cover needed replacement a couple years ago, and same thing: you couldn't tell either.
If all you have is scratches it should be around $900 or so to sand and repaint. IIRC it was $1000+ with a brand new bumper cover. I didn't pay too much attention since it was not my insurance paying. If you are really interested PM me and I'll pull the paperwork.
