What makes you say that? I'm sceptical too, but only because I don't trust the Internet

Yeah, I thought it was too good to be true but this guy is a 'top rated seller' with decent feed back. How do these guys get away with this shit

Spoke to seller few days back and he swears blind they are genuine and when mentioning there's no BMW markings he said because he brought them direct from BBS.

That sounds about right, as they are not being sold as BMW parts (through a dealership) they will have no BMW branding on the face of the wheels.
This is an age old controversy, previously discussed where manufacturers go on to produce a part/s under their own branding after their license agreement with the retailer (in this case BMW) has expired. (poss another indication that CSL parts are on the downturn with BMW)
However the way to tell is on the reverse side of the wheel, where you should find the BBS branding as per the images, without that - Fake and No Thanks
