Poor paint quality

Why is the paint quality on BMW's so bad? I was driving home yesterday alongside some friends. One had a 2012 Range Rover, I had my 2013 X3 (with only 850 miles) and the other an 2013 Audi A5. We all were stuck behind a gravel truck on the highway that was spitting pebbles out as he drove. We all passed the truck as fast as we could but each of our cars was unfortunately pelted with the debris. The rover has no rock chips my car fared the worst with 6 small chips on the hood and fenders (really ruined my night). The audi only had one. We were all the same distance from the truck and going the same speed. It amazes me how easily this new "environmentally friendly " paint will chip.
