I bought my 640i GC used and it came with a 'Clear Bra' installed on the front fascia, roughly 1/3 of the hood (towards the front), fenders, plus headlights and side mirrors.
I've slowly been removing all the clear protective crap. I refer to it as crap, because the film made the headlights look "foggy." As much as the product is designed to shield the paint from rock chips and debris; I find that the film makes the paint look relatively dull and when knicks occur, then the result is a collection of small indentations that would probably otherwise be unnoticeable.
Wish I had before and after pictures, but my vote is clearly against such products. The other gripe is that the bug debris was very hard to clean off the film; sort of like a gummy material that doesn't want to let go of anything that it collects.
