Where to get reasonable $ BMW touch up paint.?

Hello everyone, i went to my BMW Dealer for a little bottle of touch-up paint (Imola Red) and they wanted $35.00..! Incredible, i've been searching Autozone and such, their prize is $5-$7 dollars, but no luck, any suggestions..?

Wow, what a rip-off. They cost around $18 at my dealer.

Brush or spray can? There's a pretty cool site that offers paint that is very very close to the original color. I'll try and find the address.

$35 is a ripoff, but I thought it includes a small bottle of clear coat too. I always use my CCA discount to get 20% off.

Depending on the size of what you are trying to touch-up, I have had success with the paint pen. It is like a marker, but filled with BMW paint. It is perfect for touch-ups. Check it out.

Did that include both the colour and the clear coat?
