So I decided to give it another try.
I feel the above dimention of 23.5 mm from bottom of lip puts emblem too high. I believe it's more like 20mm.
Black on black looks solid! Your process is pretty similar to what I did to create the blue tape above (mine was debadged too).

Its actually 23.5mm per BMW (BMW TIS Repair Tech Document). That being said, it appears your first attempt is greater than 23.5mm (comparing your pic visually to mine). There is a lot of room for error if you don't measure that 23.5 from the exact place BMW does, so its easy to be off. Easiest way to get it exact is to make sure the 1 is exactly 23.5mm above the lip below it (since below the i the lip curves up).
