I appreciate the advice guys. I spoke to my salesman over weekend (who also owns an M3) and he stated that the chips behind the wheels are pretty much unavoidable and the only real option is to get the areas painted every few years, which would be a losing battle obviously. Is this true? If so, I might just pick up a pre-painted Euro front bumper and then leave the other areas as-is, at least until some point down the line.

The solution for the OP is "Bulk film wrap" after a re-spray, it will be costly up front but you ALWAYS pay @ the back end whether you know it or not if this issue is left alone.
Bulk wrap is a custom wrap as opposed to the pre-cut kits everyone is mentioning in this thread(That has the unsightly lines)where the custom bulk style has the edges wrapped. As for the wheel arches those areas even if wrapped will have a edge but then the "Bead blasted look" will be prevented and re-sale or trade in value is restored(If the work is quality....) as a dealership will hammer you on this for re-con costs and a private prospective buyer will do the same as well as the car taking a longtime to sell because of cosmetic blemishes. |

I could see adding material if a kit is installed already, but almost none of my clients do this as it something that looks added on and the company I work with usually Premier in Fremont CA has never done this to my knowledge, as the client would have the kit replaced with a custom edge wrapped installation.
Have a client with a Alpine White M3 who is replacing his pre-cut install just for this particular reason. |

The Clear-Bra type wraps on a car reminds me of my old Italian grandmother who had all her upholstered furniture wrapped in plastic and had plastic runners leading to all the rooms on top of the carpet . God help you if you stepped off the plastic and your foot touched carpet!
If can not get all tight in the shorts over a few paint chips as a result of use. It's a car!
