Sorry another post , on my 15" BBS I just got, they don't have the bbs markings under the caps , ive seen some that do and some that don't , they have bmw and kba 41296 and then size and offset etc just wandering why they don't have BBS on? The do on the actual centre caps though

not all were made by bbs, there were another few companies including FPS and another beginning with A i think??, so don't panic, most likely still original BMW

They say fps but have bbs caps?

As long as they are genuine BMW it does not matter. Don't get hung up on the BBS thing. If you wanted genuine 15" BBS style alloys, that's what you've got.

But are they exactly the same as the bbs ones? They look it

Made to exactly the same spec. In common with many parts on the E30, BMW used more than one supplier at the same time for the same part, presumably to encourage competitiveness and to avoid production hold ups if one particular supplier experienced problems.
