Where do I get that black sticky stuff to put the badges back on my tailgate?

It's not really adhesive as such.

BMW badges are secured using stuff similar to those thin (double sided) sticky pads you can get from DIY/Hardware stores. It usually comes in little squares, but can be cut with scissors to the correct shape.

I stuck my i badge back on with the double sided tape. Bought a roll from Halfrauds for Ԛ£2 and if I wanted to I have enough to write "I love goats" on every panel of the car. I'e pressure washed the car and polished it numerous times since using the tape and it hasn't budged yet. :D

If you use double sided tape, use the plastic type that is spongy (not the paper)
