I checked out the website......it sounds good. I will be ordering it and trying it out as just today I noticed some scratches/rashes on my car's hood. Here's the link:----> Dr ColorChip BMW touch up paint order page
That's interesting....I got mine last year from Center BMW in Sherman Oaks. I think this Dr. ColorChip stuff "should" have better results than the normal touch up paint......I will try it out.

The relevance for y'all in the US is probably zero but I bought a touch up kit for my amethyst grey today with no problems. My dealer had to order it from Germany as the Polish central warehouse didn't have any in stock - took 4 days.

I had a chip on my new 530i. I tried this stuff from Dr. ColorChip (there is some website out there and the name is something like that one). The stuff was amazing (I do not work for them). It costs about $45, but well worth it. It does not work on really small scratches.
They send you matched BWM paint (A35 for my Monoco blue). You put the paint on the problem, and you literally rub it in. You let it dry as is. Then, they give you a solution to rub off the excess. I had some scratches on my trunk because one of my friends who was not used to the "rebound" trunk of the 530i was wearing a watch when the truck popped up. The stuff also gives you a gloss coating so you do not need to buy separate stuff. My trunk looked brand new afterwards. I was sold on the stuff.
Once again, it did not work on my really small scratches (which were not deep enough to reach the paint).
Hope this helps.
