I got brave and brought out the Dremel to cut the metal tab on the trunk lid itself. Didn't want to but considering it was BMW's recommended fix I went for it. I did have some touch up paint on hand first to thoroughly cover it.
Removed that little plastic strip on the flip side of the light first w/ a pair of side cutters then finished it off very carefully with a razor blade.
What a PITA to do something so simple. Not sure how either of these changes to the light itself make it any better.
