Hard to be sure from the pics, but that looks more like a scratch than a bend.
To me, that looks only cosmetic,at least from the pics.

You could fix that yourself if you wanted.
Just sand it down, starting with wet-sanding with rough sandpaper and working your way down to very fine. Sand only on the damaged area. You'll be surprised how easy it is to smooth it out.
Then mask off the damaged area and spray it with Wurth Silver Wheel paint, followed by Wurth clear. That paint should be available at the dealer - if not MB, then BMW dealers should have it. Or, you can get it from suppliers, like Griot's Garage.
If your wheel is painted (it looks like it is from the pics), then the paint should be an exact match and it should be very difficult to see the repair.
