Got my car back
After 2 weeks in the body shop for extremely minor bumper scratches, the bitch is back. The 2 week delay was for 2 defective OEM bumper covers arriving packed in nothing more than paper.
My loaner was a Dodge Challenger which at first blush is pretty okay for an American car. But after getting the 3er back there's no comparison. Plus it was a slush box. Don't know how you guys without 3 pedals drive.

manual is fun but not in every day commuting. i suppose i will get one again if i get a faster car. really no advantage to a manual other than that feeling of changing your own gears.

It's the opposite for me.... for anything faster than a 335i/M3, I would want a DCT or a better driver position. I just can't shift fast enough to do justice to the power.

I have the same issue. My front/rear bumper has minor scuffs. It's not that noticeable only to me.It annoys me because I take such good care of my car. The rear bumper was hit by a shopping cart, even when I parked far away from the supermarket. What exactly is a bumper cover? Was the original wet sanded, then sprayed? Or replaced with a new bumper/ cover. If you don't mind, how much did it cost? Are you satisfied with the way it came out? I plan on keeping my E90 for a long time because I prefer the way it drives compare to the F30. Thanks

Hell yes. The car is only a couple months old. The damage to the cover was such that the reconditioning shop rejected it for repairs. So I guess in retrospect not so minor after all.
I was in a Challenger because the other party's insurance paid for a rental at Enterprise.

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.
