I started to noticed my front bumper area has been taking a beating from random objects (mainly small rocks I am sure) nicking the area while driving on the road. I know it happens to all cars and it is really avoidable, but how do some of you fix this? Do you just buy touch up paint and apply it once a year, month, etc..?

It really shows on the alpine white =/

I had the same issues after initial 4k on odometer. Tried oem touch up paint and it made it more obvious of nicks. If you have darker paint color it may look less obvious. Not worth it. I took off front bumper and had it repainted for about $300. I then had xpel ppf applied to bumper and hood. After another 5k+ miles and no chips or nicks. Love the ppf. Worth it if you want to protect your vehicle from chips. Also BMW paint can be thin.
