That wheel is trashed ... Was your mechanic on drugs 
Replace all four or you will be banned from the forum 
Seriously, it's like your first door ding ... it only hurts until the second one and unless you keep your BMW in a bubble s_it happens. Fortunately it's hidden away so only you and your mechanic will know the truth

a wheel repair service should be able to fix that for a fair cost if you are really worried about it...

Dude... I am as anal as it comes and super particular with all my expensive toys. However, it is on the inside of the wheel man. Come on. It also cannot rust.

Damn... I'm not trying to flame up or anything but that chip... C'mon man, just leave it alone and get over with it. If you don't want to have such a small imperfection even at the parts you don't normally see, don't drive, mod or let anyone (including you) touch it. Put it in the museum and you'll be good to go.
My wheel guys got my HRE wheels chipped at the lug nut openings IN ALL FOUR WHEELS because they were not paying attention when they put my wheels on, I know it hurts, but I just got over it because they were friendly and I don't wanna put more money into my wheels.
