Per BMW...they're the final word? If a shop does it, it's on them if they don't work properly. Maybe BMW doesn't paint them, but I've seen countless other carmakers doing it, so maybe they know something BMW doesn't or it's fine to do. I still say ask a body shop, and make sure they'll offer to replace them if the paint causes issues. I'm sure it's been done before w/o issues.
