What a bummer! We've all been to bars, so it could have happened to any of us. *chills*
Still looks like a truck bumper did some damage. Not sure about the hater thing, especially if you were parked next to other nice cars as you mentioned. I think there are more BMW haters out there than Lexus haters. And I can't imagine someone walking up to a car out of the blue and start kicking it. That would call out a lot more attention than someone backing into you.
Check to see if there were any security cameras and keep us posted.

Seems like someone backed into the car. It's kind of hard to kick above the front bumper like that without being in an awkward position. Not all accidents include paint transfer. Some trucks/SUVs have chrome bumper. Plus the impulse from the kicking/hitting would have triggered the alarm, especially since it takes more than 1 hit to make that kind of damage.

Just use your insurance instead unless you have a high deductible

you alrdy know it had to be some young *** kids that did that. Looks like a huge gap between your bumper and headlight.. Sorry to see that happen to you.
