R&R the bumper skin, fix the clips, maybe fix broken clips is a 2+ hr job. You think a dealer will say "yes, cars should tolerate bumps, we will pay this out of our pocket" since BMWNA will almost surely deny for this claim.
I agree bumpers should be more robust- but you cannot settle claims based on 'it was reported as a minor tap'. Thats the crux of this thread: yes, BMW has a weak design. How hard was it bumped? Was it due to a weak design or a strongish bump?
Play dumb, say 'it looks like heat has caused this to pop up- I read there are issues with the clips that hold it in place'. Once you mention a parking lot bump you are done. IMO
