John,

I've used Langka for chip repairs on my 911. It works fairly well but it
takes a little practice.
The hard part is to gage how long to let the touch-up paint dry before you
go over it with the
Langka. If you wait too long, the Langka won't remove the excess paint. If
you don't wait long
enough, the Langka removes all the touch-up paint. I believe the directions
say to wait 8 to 12
minutes. What I did was start out at the low end which removed all the
touch-up paint, then started
over and increased the time by a minute until I got it right. The length of
time you wait also depends on how cold/hot it is when your doing this. The
product seems to work best on the bigger stone chips, where there is plenty
of surface area for the touch-up paint to adhere. It didn't harm the
existing paint.

Hope this helps.

Per what Paul said about Langka, it really works.  
http://langka.com/

The trick with the BMW touch up paint is that you have to mix the two part
touch paint on a separate container first and apply it on the car.  With the
Langka you don't even have to worry about applying carefully.
