Stone chips on rear wheel arcs!?

I have just had the M Sportspacket II kit installed on my Coupé.

I have already noticed a number of small stone chips at the edge of the fender facing the rear wheel. I know that the fender is made of plastic, but I am a bit afraid that this will get a lot worse over time.

I would have been nice if BMW had done someting to protect the painted edge of the bumper. However, I must admit that a lot of other brands (e.g. Mercedes) has a similar design.

Anybody else had any problems on thsi account?

P.S. I know that mudguards is the solution. However I'm not really up to installing these things on the Coupé.

JSE,

I have also encountered this. It seems to occur when I am accelerating onto the highway, and there is gravel on the road.
