don't really know what you mean and where it is. but if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. bumper should be pretty smooth across

No it's not normal. While at the dealership, check out the rear bumper of another 3GS to compare. I say the moron that hit you caused some damage...

Sorry to tell you this, but it's probably the imprint left when the bumper shell compressed against the actually hard bumper bar inside. I have a horizontal, slightly convex one on my rear bumper also. Noticed it after my wife drove it to the shopping mall.
