I would rather have had a bumper replacement like you.

I hear you there, your lucky it didnt start buckling the rear quarter panel, Damn crumple zones, My friend has a 540I BMW that got rear ended and the same thing happened to him that happened to you, deck lid and rear cross member only thank God, easily repaired damage, but your right a front bumper is child's play compared to sheet metal.
