Has anyone ordered any of these badges off EBAY. If so how good are they. I have a set of alloys that require a 60mm badge, so I can't use genuine BMW ones. From what I can tell on Ebay they seem to be a slightly different colour than original especially the blue.

If you look at the colour of the blue in these from Ebay, it seems a lot darker blue than the original ones. Has anyone purchased these? Do they look OK?

they look darker because they have a blue protective film on them for you to peel of when fixed in place and anyone else thinking of buying them from ebay (70mm) ones .....they are only Ԛ£2 each will cost you under a tenner at the dealer .....i saw someone pay Ԛ£23 recently for a set of 4 ............but if you want to pay Ԛ£23 call me and ill get them for you at Ԛ£23 plus postage

Just to confirm what Gazza said.
Probably cheaper at the stealers.
He regularly gets WELL over Ԛ£10 for 4 70mm badges which are only Ԛ£2.20 + Vat at my local dealer before any discount.
I'm not completely perfect.......there are some bits missing or broken.
But the weather here helps!!!
