I just placed an order for the necessary parts (not from IND though). I have not decided where I will get the mirror caps painted yet (I plan to go with body color). But any decent body shop should be able to match the BMW paint quality for a reasonable cost since the mirror caps come primed and ready to paint and are not big pieces to paint. I may even go with my local BMW dealership which also has a collision repair body shop and pay the premium BMW price so there will be no questions about paint quality.
This mod may not be for everyone (although I would be surprised if anyone with the M-Sport package would not find it appealing). But for a cosmetic mod, the cost/benefit seems very good to me, even for BMW price standards. For anyone who is curious, I got the above four parts for $262 + shipping (exact shipping is different for just those parts as I also ordered other parts at the same time, but I will estimate ~$35 to ship just those parts). A little research reveals that these parts are currently from the G03 X3M and G04 X4M. The X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7 (G-series models) all share the same exterior mirror design so the parts are all interchangeable. It would not surprise me if you see this mirror design on future X7 M50i models (the 2020 X5M has it) - so get in now if you want to be ahead of the curve for the X7

Thanks again to the OP for providing this info.....
