I repaired the bumper on my 2007 335 but a smaller area and did it on a 2007 X3. If you are patient and don't rush it with plenty of time for drying and wet sanding you can probably do it yourself. Paint is about $30 so all in $50-60 but it could be a 2-3 day process because it's important to let the final coat dry 24 hours. Driving it with semi wet paint will screw up the paint due to dirt, moisture etc. make sure to get some 1200-2000 wet sand paper for finishing if you do it yourself. If it was me I would try myself because if you screw it up the next person will resand it anyway.
I am willing to do it myself but I have absolutely no experience.
