Ouch, sorry to hear. That much have been painful to hear. I would guess that you would need to replace the whole unit.

Plastic Weld. It won't look great, but if you can open the gap up enough to get the stuff in from the top and then find a way to hold the crack shut it will weld the 2 pieces together.
Note that you'll need to hold the pieces together for about 15 minutes before it will set.
+1. A Motorcycle courier made a big hole in my previous car's front bumper and I had it invisibly welded and resprayed. Worked a treat and was way cheaper than a whole bumper.
Just pick up a new bumper cover from Umnitza for $130 or so and have your body shop spray it for another $100 or so, then install it yourself (takes about two hours and is very easy). The Umnitza piece fits beautifully, looks great, and the price is unbeatable. There are other places that have similar prices, but my experience is with the Umnitza piece.

Infamous Q - Sorry to hear about your bumper. I don't have an answer, but I at least have some info that may help you feel better. I replaced the front bumper on my Beast twice last year.... First time, I barely scraped a cement parking block thing. The angle was weird. It racked my bumper down the driver's side. Not even three months later, I'm on the interstate with nowhere to go and the car in front of me kicks up a truck tread shattering my brand new bumper. I went the body shop route both times. Let's hope your repair lasts longer. Before and after from the first incident attached....
Well I don't have pic's because when I raised the car up it was not the bumper that had cracked but splash guard underneath when I placed my hand there because it was night I thought it was the bumper but it was the splash guard so now I just need to find a replacement part for that thanks for the help anybody know where I can get that from?

You can get front fender liners from any dealer, such as BMW of Fairfax.
