Wow, sorry to hear about your paint problems. I think the eBay link you posted is for touch-up paint, not spray. Even so, this is too big of a problem for touch-up paint. If it were me, I'd probably have it repainted and add a 3M clear bra. Unless of course, you can convince your dealer to help you out with the problem.

Many times dealers respray used car bumpers to make them look new prior to reselling . It looks like your clear coat is peeling likely due to poor painting or a light impact or both . I'ld go back to your dealer and whine a little. You definitely need to get this repainted to make it right. It's not likely a touch up.
Good Luck

Thanks everyone for your help. I went back to the dealer (competition BMW in Long Island, NY). The SA is just as friendly as the time I went to purchase the car. He said he is going to take care of it, and schedule me to go in next tuesday for service. Hopefully everything will go well... Again, thanks so much, folks, for helping me out. Otherwise, I would have purchase the touch up paint (Still dont know what that is yet) and tried myself...
