Found this chip on the right front panel today

Its really not as big as it appears, barely noticable actually, but what can be done to fix this?? Touch up paint i guess??

Get some touch up paint from BMW - make sure it's the one in jars, not the pen type. Clean the area really well, and use the touch up paint sparingly. If you feel adventurous, get some unigrit 2000 or 3000 sanding blocks and wet sand it. You will need an orbital buffer to get out the minuscule scratches around that area. There are DIYs posted on this...

try some detailing products. if that doesnt fill it try using touch-up paint (apply with a toothpick to fill hole) then use the detail products again to smooth it out, and then buff it out, wax it, and you should be good to go.

I worked on the same kinda issue on my G over the weekend.

you mean a non-orbital or a random-orbital, right?
