Are you looking for just touchup quantities, or are you looking for enough to spray a panel or the whole car?

For simple chip touchup, I've had good luck with Dr. Colorchip, which can match factory color codes pretty darn well. It doesn't come with clear, though - but for small chips you'll be fine without it.

+1 for Dr. Colorchip - much better and easier than factory touchup paint unless you are really skilled.

I recommend using Spies Hecker brand paint and clear as it has superior covering qualities. Any local auto paint store carrying Spies should be able to supply you with the proper thinners, hardener, and materials. You will not be disappointed. If you have a car quest locally they should be able to order it for you.

IIRC, BMW Uses Glasurit as their original finish and BMW dealerships use
Sikkens. Both are excelent high quality European paint.

I use R-M Diamont for basecoat myself which is made by BASF, the same company that makes Glasurit. Its just a bit cheaper than Glasurit, its high quality and matches great. It's also user friendly.

For clearcoat, you can use a cheap Nason clear and it will hold for at least 5 years, even more if you wax and maintain the finish.

Get them from local autobody supply stores.
They may be able to match the tint for you.

Another online source I've used before is paintscratch.com.

MGM auto body supply in Hawthorne On Wagaraw Road sells paint. I got mine in an aerosol can but I am sure there are more options. It was fifty bucks for schwarz 2 and a bottle of clear coat.
