OEM touch up kits. They come with small bottles of base and clear coat with applicators.

I have fixed a few chips on my F30 with Dr. Colorchip and it works perfectly every time. Even out in the sun, I can't find where the chips I fixed are located, it works that well. It does take some patience depending on how deep the chip is, as it fills it in layer by layer so that you do not have a pit, which can make the chip more visible.

Dr. Colorchip is probably the best I've used...works better on darker colors. My results: http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e39...p-results.html

I feel your pain. I gave up on being pissed about chips in the front. I drive on the highway a lot so it's impossible to avoid, I just touch up with matching BMW touch up and just enjoy the car. The other day a salt truck decided to turn on the salt right next to me...yeah it jacked up my bumper but I've learned it's just something that happens unless your car is a garage queen.

On a more personal note and " no offense" since I dont even own an M car, but if it were an M3 Id probably clear bra it. To me it just means that much more special and Id hate to ruin it. Not that my car isnt special to me, but you know ///M is ///M and its a special machine. Ill have to try this stuff as well.
