BMW has not used a actual METAL or alloy for the emblem bases for many moons.
Our newer versions are ABS polycarbonate plastics that have a chromate coating, hence the chrome look.
While this coating does help the emblem last longer ( than bare)....it will still warp/melt with high heat.
Just a word of caution.
