A tire hit the side of my car... I'm not feeling the best now but what should I do in order to fix this?

Take it to your dealership and ask them to fix it

If it's just scratches you may be able to polish it out. Or perhaps some black PPF could be used to hide it.

Sorry to hear, if it is just the left Shadowline air inlet, you can order from getBMWparts.com and easily replace yourself and save the deductible. I apologize if I miss something wrong with the paint.

I did not get the premium package, therefore, was not able to get the Shadowline package. I have a BG M240 xdrive, and have replaced the grille, and both air inlets. Also, the exhaust tips, the M240 badge swapped for the black one, and removed the xdrive.

Long story short, I paid $56.46 for the left Shadowline air inlet from getBMWparts.com (to note my ordered qualified for free shipping) and I bought a $10 acrylic body trim tool kit off of Amazon and easily removed from the air inlets by wedging in one of the tools to pop the 4 clips off on the slanted end, next pop the 2 clips on the long pointy end and it comes right off. The wire to the fog light is long enough to pull the air inlet forward a few inches until you can reach the clip for the fog light with your fingers. Then, all you do is clip in the fog light your new one, align the air inlet, and push it on until all the clips snap in place (you can bang it with the side of your fist if pushing isn't enough force to snap in place). Really, it only took about 30 minutes to swap them both out.

I hope this helps and you get everything resolved soon!
