Yeah, I've heard that as well - but even if the damage was not incurred during the ED and was obviously a flaw in the paint prior to the BMW ED front plate being mounted at the Welt?
This was found behind the front ED plate after my PPF installer carefully removed it - similar to the OP, the adhesive wasn't touching this part of the bumper, the ED plate was just covering it up. My thoughts are that the damage occurred at the Welt/Leipzig, prior to the plate being mounted, OR, during the transportation process either from Germany to the Baltimore VDC & customs, or during the transport from the VDC to the dealership. There is also zero paint on the back of the plate, or on the adhesive, further indicating this was existing damage and someone chose to mount the damn front plate anyway. Who would've thought that one should demand that the delivery specialist remove the front plate when inspecting the car at initial delivery at the Welt to ensure the front plate wasn't hiding pre-existing damage prior to acceptance...
Additionally, my car was delayed at the VDC about a month ago, due to "exterior trim damage". I was not informed as to what this damage was, other than that they were waiting on parts. So they do in fact still address damage occurring during transportation for ED cars, to the extent that it's identified at the VDC, albeit excluding normal wear and tear on the car (i.e. paint chips, wheel rash, etc.).
