Paint chipping on M sport bumpers?
Has anyone had any trouble with paint chips on their M sport body kits? I read that there have been problems with this on the X5M and am concerned since I just ordered an X3 with the M sport package.
Can anyone recommend an Avery nano fusion paint protection installer near Toronto Canada? Thanks in advance!

The chipping issue on X5M and X5M Sport is not the front bumper, but the side rocker panels and rear wheel flares. The wheels are so wide on the vehicle (even in the front) and the stagger of the body flares so distinct, that stones and other debris are thrown from the front wheels and chip the hell out of the rear flares and rockers.
I know from whence I speak.... my X5 M Sport has it's share of them. The X3 M Sport does not seem to have this issue (any more than a 'normal' vechicle) because it does not have those deep flares. Still, plan to put mudflaps on mine as soon as they are available.
