It's not necessarily the fault of the paint (see my post above). The general cause of checking/cracking is excessive basecoat film builds (paint thickness). The desired film build is influenced by multiple parties.
Also, Audi and BMW use the same brands of paint as everyone else. But being more exlcusive brands attuned to the desires of the customer, they tend to use the best of what the paint suppliers have. Also they don't skimp on material usage. Although I can't say for sure, I would guess they scrap a larger portion of their cars at the assembly plant for paint problems due to strict quality control guidelines.
