Unfortunately not original BMW.
It will be painted. I can get you IND one. They paint the original.
They have options gloss black and matte black.

When I cut out the shape/size of the badge after getting the measurements it fit in the space, but I just realized that the cutout I made was a bit flexible and not fully rigid. So I cut out another one in hard plastic and you are 100% correct, the slight angle in the extractors won't let the entire length of the badge mount fully flush. Therefore I will either have to ever so slightly contour the badge, or have to fender mount them. If I fender mount I would need a template and have asked r33_RGSport to see if he can get one for me as euro body shops would need them when fenders are replaced/refinished. I'm told it should be something that's downloadable. If I try to contour the badge to fit the slight curve of the extractors any suggestions on how to do it? We're not staying at our main residence and wont be back there for a while plus my tools here are limited. Thanks

Couldn't get my BMW parts department to get me the template.
And I just tried to look at newtis.info and BMW force them to shut it down.

Took them off my EU 8 as I thought they looked naff, like the X Drive badge which also went!

Thanks for trying.

Maybe a euro member here can get them for us via their local parts dept.

The emblems arrived and they look great and match the cercium trunk emblem nicely. They are small, tasteful, and very discreet especially if I can get them mounted on the air extractors.

Great to hear.
