Thanks you guys for your insight, it's very appreciated. As driving in North of America create a lot of rock chips on the bumpers, I think I will keep it like this and see on this evolve. The clear coat is still flat so it's not too visible. The cracks are so thin I needed to put a direct spot...

Bumper has been repainted 2 times by BMW Collision Center to OEM specs BEFORE the ice hit. BMW give a lifetime warranty on their paint repairs. We still don't know if paint is cracked or not. If cracked, it's clear that only a repaint needs to be done. The other question is: If cracked, does...

So you are sure that the paint is cracked? I'm not and this is why I need an expert to confirm in person. Thank you for your advise.

Good point. I would be surprised that the bumper has been damaged but it's a good idea to verify. BTW, I looked again to the impact point and I can feel a little bit the scratches with my nails. I will show this to a pro detailer and asking for advise about how to fix this, if possible. I...

You got it, thank you. I have replied to this troll but my message has been deleted.

If it act like an OEM bumper should, that's fine. I will show it to BMW Collision center expert and see. (Yes I could see a 2nd expert if needed)

Thank you! I feel that a normal bumper paint should be enough flexible to resist to the bumper flex...no?

I don't think this will void it, we can see any damage I could have created. This bumper has been repaint 2 times by BMW because the first time the paint start peeling when they try to wash it with their pressure washer. They proposed to repaint it for free a 2nd time. It's it possible that...

Experts, do you think this is a normal OEM BMW paint reaction? If not, I could claim BMW to repaint the bumper to spec. There is the warranty mentioned on their web sites.

Anybody knows if OEM paint should resist to stress? This bumper has been repaint by the BMW Collision center to OEM spec 1-2 years ago and I am questioning if they did a good job.

If it fall on the ground first, the law here declare the other driver as not responsible. If not, he his. No the block did fly in the air for 3-4 sec before it fall down.

This is my feeling too as I can't really feel the scratches on the clear coat. I will try to found a pro detailer and asking his advise by showing the car. Concerning the distance, I was +15 car distance and that's why I have been able to avoid the 1st huge block. Also, it's the driver...

Hi A stupid truck driver didn't cleanup his truck before driving on the highway and he lots a huge block of ice in front of me. I have been able to avoid the 5 x 5 feets block but it the 2 x 2 feet. The block was hard and 8-10 inch thin. So I hit it with my front bumper and the only damage I...
