Looking for gloss black emblems

Greetings! I'm currently in the process of "chrome deleting" my 2015 328i and was wondering if anyone knew of a good source for quality, aftermarket trunk emblems? Specifically, I'm looking for a gloss black "328". So far the only ones I've found have been matte black. Thanks in advance for your help!

Easiest would be to "paint" them yourself, using Plastidip (or similar) and a glossifier.

I am personally not a fan of any emblems (apart from the BMW one, of course), but if this is what you are after, that's one option.

I bought a set of gloss black '435i' and 'xDrive' emblems on ebay, they were OEM in the original packaging, about $30 for both (from different sellers).

Do it yourself!

You really can do it yourself. I did mine with Plasti Dip but there is a Hyper Dip (if you want the glass black look). I should have used the gloss one but am still very happy with how it turned out.

That looks great! I can't wait to try it on mine. I actually bought a can of PlastiDip and the Glossifier but just haven't gotten a chance to apply it yet. I think the black emblems look waaaay better
