I'd have them paint and install a new front bumper. If this sort of damage happened at the port, that's what would have been done and you'd likely never have been told (I am sure more than a few BMWs are delivered that way). Be sure you get a chance to inspect the work and you're 100% happy before you sign any paperwork to buy the car.
Beware though, they must send it to a very good body shop. It is easy to equal or exceed the finish quality of the factory paint, but it is difficult to equal the robustness of factory paint, especially on the flexible pieces like the front bumper cover. Years down the road, you can almost always see the difference between factory paint and repair jobs. I can almost always spot a color mismatch too.
Give them a chance to make it right, examine the repair carefully, and then make a decision.
