speed deformed bumper?

I drove the 335 up to 150mph this week for a brief time and noticed after stopping that you can now see the imprint of some sort from behind on the front bumper cover. It appears that it may be the mounting for the license plate showing through? I will try and take a pic later. Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Has anyone claimed this under warranty?

This seems nuts for a car that is designed to run!

yeah, I remember one time in my E46 I was going about 130 and the black plastic thing behind my fog lights just flew off. I didn't know what came off, but it went under my tire and I thought my tire blew out.

yeah, I was kinda speed child a few years back with my E46, but I cooled down since I got my 335. Fastest I've gone is 120ish in this one. Last one was 155. But to my story of the plastic thing flying off, it was because I speed A LOT, so I don't think anything will fly off of this one lol

So what now?

How about a warranty claim? This car runs great as it should and it will run 150+. What do they do in Montana etc where there is no speed limit? I am taking it in next week for a couple of minor things so I will check it out. BTW the car is an E90 2007 335 with 27K miles.
