If you touch/tap the caulk, you will find that it's not hard like a weld would be, but rather, has a rubber/plastic/wax feel.

BTW, you should be glad BMW does this. Not all brands are as thorough with seam caulking.
Even worse then, they should take time to make an nice finish if its only plastic.. The spikes are terrible. Very difficult to clean for dirt.. and as you can see I have a white car..
