How good is the paint? Should I protect it?

I'm considering getting a protective mask put on the front of my X3.

My last car was a 2008 Honda Civic Si. I drive on the highway every day. The number of paint chips on that car was disgusting. There were at least a dozen significant ones, and some were so deep that they started to rust.

However, that wasn't a BMW. Is the paint any better at resisting chips?

It's $650 to get the front bumper and 24" of the hood wrapped in 3M or Nanocoat products near me.
