BMW paint has been getting thinner and thinner.

Back in the glory days of old BMW they were in the 5 mils.

By the time E9x came around it was barely 4 mils (my Evo is in the mid to high 3's, talk about budget).

That's why those early 90 BMW paints look nice and thick from the factory, because they were.

All this to save half a can of paint a car, ridiculous.

I am afraid if chips bother you then clear bra is a must nowadays. Find a good guy and have the car wrapped before you drive it off the lot.
