Interior door opener handles

Hi, I just bought my first Z4 this weekend, an 03 3.0 with 31,000 miles. The drivers door interior opener handle (not the armrest grab handle) is a little tired. By chance does any vendor make these in stainless or aluminum?

Also does any particular BMW dealer have great online parts pricing?

More of a shiny aluminum look than Stainless.
As someone else has suggested to you, maybe consider wrapping in vinyl or look into hydro dipping

I should add subject: chrome plated plastic

good evening dbarton62 thank you for the response. May I hear more about hydro dipping? Out of sheer chance today I was in a big honking current Infiniti that had plastic yet chrome factory door handles. And I had a 67 Pontiac LeMans (think GTO) dash restored a while back; the factory finish was chromed plastic (paint over some but not all of the chrome)

also who was it that suggested to me vinyl wrapping or hydro dipping? I did not see but I am all ears
