Is this common practice for dealerships? Would Autowest change the frame to theirs if say you were to bring your vehicle with Brian and Jessel frames?

While I think it is a pretty shitty thing to do (especially if you have your own plate frames, not some other dealership's), it's basically free marketing for them aside from the cost of the plate frame, plus they're replacing a competing brand with their brand. It definitely would be nice if they at least asked first, though.
From what I understand, dealers (at least BMW for sure) can't advertise within the area of a competing dealership under the same manufacturer. Plate frames are one of very few ways a dealership can advertise inside a competing dealership's area.
The service stickers they tack on inside is for when you might sell your car (and for some reason don't have service records for the next owner), the next owner will (hopefully) see it and go back for repeat business.
