Solution for paint this paint issue?

I recently bought a mineral white 2 series to repair for my own use. The car is pretty much done but around the front badge there are some weird paint scratches/cracks. They look like scratches but feel almost slightly raised. I think the only real fix is to have the front bumper resprayed but I cant afford the cost of that at the moment. Is there anything I could use to improve the look of it for the moment? Has anyone else had anything like this?

Thanks

Had you compounded and polished the area ?

I have a mineral white m235i it doesn't have that issue, but it does look like the solution would be to respray it because those look like cracks not scratches but you could try polishing them out. I could be wrong I'm just going off what I saw in the photo. Try some Sonax perfect finish it's a German polish you can pick it up from autogeek.net maybe it is scratches and not cracked paint I really can't tell you from the photo but I wouldn't hurt to try polishing it out first. Good luck

They sell detail wax to hide swirls that is colored - I've only seen it in black, but probably also make white. If those are cracks, it may help hide them.
