In my experience, you're going to get paint chips etc on your car whether or not you have a clear bra...unless you want to wrap your car in hard plastic, there are eventually going to be blemishes. I'll post tinted pics later this week once I get it washed.

That said, I do park it far, far away from other cars and drive gingerly through debris-filled road segments (aplenty here in Chicago).
I've had the clear bra on my e53 for 8 years now--I can't imagine what the paint would look like with little rock chips up front without it--especially black which is what I have. You are right you will always get some nicks but SUVs catch a lot more road debris and it's nice to have the protection. I am from Chicago originally (Barrington) so I know what you mean on the roads--another reason to get it.
