How much to replace rear bumper & insurance question

Hi all! Great forum! I picked up a lot of useful information here and have finaly decided to register... not for a great reason though :S

I was involved in a rear-end collision ("involved" may be too harsh, as I was stationary at the time) with a VW Transporter.

My rear bumper got smashed and nothing else from what I could see.

I have 2 questions:

1) Does anyone has an idea how much is to replace the bumper @ BMW dealer (inc railings; my car is an ES model, so no parking sensors)?

2) I've heard that it could take a while to get the other party's insurance to pay up, so I'm, considering to pay for the repair myself and than claim back the cash. Is this wise?

Thanks for the advice!
