Not disagreeing with you at all, just pointing out what would happen if you yank on that plate. That adhesive is strong stuff.

I believe it, which is also why I didn't want to remove it myself. But the shop immediately sent me pictures of the back of the plate, showing the adhesive and that it was easily peeled after a little heat, with small bit of rubbing alcohol to get the remaining adhesive off the bumper and that no clear/paint came off with it (nor did any rub off on the metal part of the plate, which is what was covering the damage).
I'm not trying to jump the gun to blame BMW, but in light of being told there was other "trim damage" to the car during transport, not being told the specifics of what it was even when I asked, and now this popping up - I've lost a little faith.
Here's a couple pictures of the back of the plate:
Thanks for the replies guys - appreciate it.
