You can get totally sick to your stomach doing that to a new car.

The darn thing will not feel as special or the same to you until you fix it. The suggestions given ought to do it (it does not sound very serious). But, if it does not work, pay a body shop to fix it!

: I have been crying all day (figurely) because of what happened last night.

: I was backing out slowly in a crowded parking garage (they had cars parked in the access lanes). I stopped momentarily because I saw another car waiting to get by. The pressure of another car waiting and the fact I am not yet proficient with the manual transmission of the BMW, I backed up some more for extra leeway to manuever, but I didn't look. As I slowly backed up I hear a sound similar to running over a styrofoam cup. I looked in my side view mirror and I see I have hit the black bumper of an old BMW. There's black stuff (probably from the old BMW) on my rear bumper just below the strip trim moulding. How can I get that stuff off? Do you think there's any internal damage?
