I'll have to check my paint tonight. I owned the F70 for a few months and with the more exaggerated wheel flares (than the F15) that model had a serious problem with the chips. BMW agreed do to a one time paint job on the flares but would not cover the costs of any film application. When I moved to the F15 I was really hoping (and assumed) that this design flaw had been addressed.
My F15 is now over a year old and I guess at some point we'll all have to accept that it's just another vehicle on the road and damage will happen. Just last week I got my wind-shield cracked by a rock on the highway, if it hit the hood I'm certain it would have chipped the paint.
