I wonder if you would come off cheaper buying the least expensive $14 Schwarz piece, and having it primed and color-matched by a local body shop?

The price variance does seem really ridiculous for the slight difference in prep & finish for such a small item...if you had a Jet Black (non-metallic) X5...you probably could get-a-way with buying the part in Schwarz.
