Ouch, sorry to see

I'm sure a filler could be used but the whole bumper would need to be resprayed to make sure the color is matched properly.

At least they didn't crack the bumper or rip it off, could be worse. Looks like the best way is what CLtotheTL said above ^^

If you run your finger nail across the scratch, does it catch? If not, you can probably buff it out with some rubbing compound and then wax and rebuff. If it does, then you'll have to go with CltotheTL32 recommendation.

It doe not look like the paint has come off. Try wet sanding with 1500 grit and then buff with compound. If the paint has come off then you would need to respray bumper

Looks like it can be easily buffed out. Someone scraped the side of my 5 series the other week and I got most of it out with 3M scratch remover and a microfiber.....the rest I will need to buff out with a buffer that my friend has.

That's unfortunate, but you have a great attitude, looking at the bright side of things. If you can't afford to get the front bumper redone, you can probably make it less noticeable using the process bukjoe15 provided.
