Well,according to real oem the part number is 51 11 7 892 595 and is $8.32. Maybe a bit more now at your dealer. Now, it is only primed. If you left it at your local BMW auto body shop, I'm sure they could paint it for you for next to nothing. Baring that, any auto paint store can mix up a spray can of white BMW paint using the BMW paint code and you're done.

the part (as you pointed out) is cheap, the problem is the paint, some paint shops I've talked to want $50+ to paint a tiny part... i mean i get it, the work is the mix and stuff but damn

I don't have one for sale, but I was also looking for a tow hook cover for my 135i when I found this site: https://www.jbavarian.com/collection...81-e82-e87-e88

They're about 40-50 bucks painted from the site, but it did take about 2 weeks or so to get. No affliation to the website, just wanted to bring it up in case you didn't know about it.
