It really depends on whether you want to retain the original BMW base coat paint colour. Not sure what coloured paint you have but looks like you have some sort of metallic paint and bmw have some of the best metallic colours in the business. Not sure what mixing bmw base paint with another brand's ceramic clearcoat will do but likely wouldnt take the risk unless its a normal base colour such as black.

Audi and Mercs use ceramic clearcoat from my understanding, you can try a bodyshop stocking their paint, though may not have the same colour base as your original car. Make sure if you do repaint your car to find out how long the paint cure period is. During the first month or so after repainting the car, the car paint is very soft til it fully cures and hardens. Be careful during that time and do not wax, seal or apply protective coating during that time. Paint curing period can be anywhere from 30days to 90days.
