Try getbmwparts.com or ind. i ordered 2 pairs, one from BMW one from IND. the ones from bmw tend to peel off, so I ordered the IND ones which are the original ones that come with the car but painted gloss black.
Good luck post pics when you are done

Are the OEM ones painted gloss black or are they stickers? I was planning to get the OEM black gills but if there have been issues with them, I might get the IND ones.

Also, I think this thread needs to be moved to Cosmetic and Lighting Modifications.

update from getbmwparts.com:
"Hi Jawwad, thanks for your interest – at this time, BMW has discontinued sale of the gloss black side gills for the M4. We do not have an ETA at this time available for when they will be orderable.

Thanks again,"

IND ones are the same, i thought they would not peel but they look the same as ones from getbmwparts...so all of them would have this issue.

I simply removed them, wet sanded the chrome, taped the logo strip and painted them gloss black. If they peel or wears off in 3 years, I will do it over. It's been a year and still looks perfect, and as good as M Performance.
