I mentioned in a previous post that the BMW paint seems to be orders of magnitude tougher than the paint on my previous Lexus.

It's possible you just found a defect in the paint application (exposed by the rock).

Bmw's paint is worlds more durable than most of my japanese cars in the past. That rock most likely did more damage than you originally thought and your nail just revealed it.
