eBay your best bet.

I’ve got some genuine BMW chrome/matt chrome for sale but no good if you want 100% black.

I got a set for the E46 through eBay, but the supplier doesn’t offer the E70 version.  Plenty out there do  :)

In my case, the supplier in China badly packaged the items and they were damaged in transit but they did supply replacements free of charge after a bit of pushing back.  Not a perfect fit but almost right.  They are a small fraction undersize, probably due to shrinkage after moulding.  I’m guessing they worked from a copy and didn’t allow for shrinkage.
