Hate to say this, but a month sounds about right. I backed my one month old M50i into my driveway gate back in December (Long story not worth getting into) and the bumper was backordered then, too. The shop in Bay Area was able to get another bumper which was the same thing, but had a different part number, a little faster. The original repair took about 3-4 weeks. (But then they botched the paint job and tried to say a huge sag in the paint wasn't there, then somehow scratched a roof rail, and then messed up a bunch of interior panels when the pulled the ceiling panel down to replace the rails, so the entire process took like 6 months and 4 trips in the shop because of backordered parts and Covid. This was an authorized BMW repair shop, too!!)

I also just had to have my master cylinder replaced under warranty, and that took 10 days total because it was also backordered.

If they gave you a loaner, like they did me, I'd say let them keep it. But if you need it, then go pick it up.
