Well, messaged them through ebay and they are aftermarket NOT factory.

I will say that the pic looks exactly like the genuine BMW RBs. I hope someone, in the future, will be brave enough to try them just to satisfy my curiosity on how they fit.

Agreed, but for the price difference. Would you mess with them for about $100 less the OE? I wouldn't. Since I picked mine up from Craig, it was only $50 difference for me, for OE. That is just not enough of a price gap for me to try aftermarket.
