What area are you from? Maybe you can find a local pro from here to polish your car out and help you with a good plan.
Ditto. But I'll say 'Nice Car' again.

Keep a MF and QD spray in your car so you can blot off bird bombs as soon as possible. Blotting is key. A friend reminded me the other day that birds take in gravel to digest food and that comes out with the poo. Wiping off a bird bomb will scratch/marr your paint -so be sure to blot it off.

Some bird bombs can make quick work of any paint finish, especially if exposed to full sun. This isn't a BMW paint issue at all -all paints are susceptible.

If you're most concerned about protection, I'd try parking in the shade for starters. Zaino, Klasse, wax, etc... will all protect your paint, but that doesn't mean they will prevent bird bomb damage.
