Hey guys,
Thanks again for the responses:
1. Honestly, I have no idea what it was that hit the car. I saw it when it whipped out a 335i coupe and flew into my lane. It was crumpled and white/gray and looked like a seriously beat-to-crap old metal trash can lid in the 1/4 second I saw it flying through the air towards the car. It made no metallic sound on the highway and all I heard was a very modest "thud" when it hit the car. Couldn't tell what it hit, wasn't hard, and didn't see it afterwards.
Got home and there's gouges in the bumper cover and big ol scratch marks.
2. So far, one body shop has mentioned filling in the gouges. However, they said that they personally wouldn't JUST fill in these gouges and sand, they'd refinish the whole bumper, because otherwise it wouldn't look good. And they said that insurance may not cover that extra work, so it was something to consider.
Getting one other body shop to lookover it today.
3. Overall, the bumper looks/looked great. This paint on this car is just amazing compared to what I'm used to (Japanese recent enviro-friendly stuff). However, its' got road rash a plenty and the front fascia has scraped across a curb in it's past (possibly more than one).
