Actually, it looks pretty decent! What I used was a close match to the brushed titanim finish (bought the paint at Advance Auto) and painted the handle and then clear-coated so that the paint would not peel off! The regular handle is light aluminum but its solid aluminum all the way through so its quality! If you want, I can give you more details! It worked for me since our M's did not come with an aluminum-matched handle to match the brushed titanium interior!
That OEM aluminum handle is currently on my 03 M5! I don't have a spare one but you can buy this either from the dealer or go the Ebay way. Esp. if you go to the Netherlands or German e-bay site, they are available there. I do have two OEM leather-covered ones but I don't think you want those. Sorry I couldn't help you out!
