//update -- see lower half of post for images of the plug :arrow:
Didn't realize the port was damaged until coming back home and trying to plug it in... See pictures below...
At the dealership now they said part of the plug looks to be melted into the port and the assembly needs to be replaced, hopefully it'll get fixed under warranty :?
Hopefully this is an extremely rare situation?
They are asking for pictures of what the charger/charger's plug looks like...that charger probably wont be working for visitors after us...hopefully at least...

// Update :arrow:
The funny thing is that the charger still works - a Volt was found charging today on it. It looks like we got the end of the nub/shell that goes around one of the terminals...but the metal crimp/connector is still connected to the plug...the plug looks like it has seen much better days with a nice crack in the center of it....I suppose the moral of the story is examine the plug of any EVSE before sticking it in your car....
Not sure if BMW will cover this...The Dealership said there is no way to remove the chunk from the plug from the port and will likely need a new assembly...

They covered the repair of the damage done by the public SEMA Connect charger. It took seven days for the repairs (guessing they had to watch some i3 training videos and read up on the service manuals). Got a loaner X1 for the duration.
