Unless there's been a big price increase recently, they're just as cheap from BMW!

The seller of these is GSF - a major supplier of BMW parts, along with Eurocarparts.
GSF and ECP tend to sell two or three options for most parts, ranging from relatively expensive parts from a BMW OE manufacturer to cheap "get it through an MOT and sell it on" junk.
It's not obvious from the ebay ad what sort of quality these are, but the standard recommendation is to buy anything containing rubber only from a BMW dealer, such as Cotswold BMW in our genuine parts forum.
