I had the same issue on the rear bumper in a F01. Paint was peeling off and it only got worse over time. BMW repainted the bumper under warranty.

It can be bad preparation of the painted surface.

Yep should be covered under paint warranty, BMW are usually pretty good with this.

That's true in this case, but it should not matter. A pressure washer should not remove properly applied paint. I often hold a pressure washer 1/4" inch from the paint to get off dabs of sap or whatever.
