If the collision center did properly, then it shouldn't have a problem with color matching in direct sunlight or not. The plastic vs metal part will tend to make the color difference but it shouldn't if done properly.

If the color don't match in direct sunlight, I would guess they didn't use enough coats or didn't have the correct/enough primer/basement. I would complain and take it back especially if they claim to be "certified". And if they are really certified by BMW, then they will not argue with you or they BMW will pull their certification. If they do argue, feel free to file a claim up higher. This has been my experience so far. BMW isn't going to risk their luxury market leadership because of a shady body shop.
