The one selling on EBay is definitely the way to go. Come straight from Germany and matches dash and seats to the “T”! Even if it takes a little while to get here, who cares? Unless you are in a bind to sell, which it doesn’t sound like. This is original paint and the color code is perfect. It’s super worth it while available.
If you are in a bind you can take your car to a decent body shop and have them match the paint from your old console. If they know what they are doing they can match this paint and it will look original. I did that years ago when I stripped the dash/console paint and repainted it completely (out of the car) with the color they mixed at the body shop and you would have never known it was re-painted! When I finally sold the car with 130,000 miles on it, the buyer was surprised as the interior looked like new (colored the leather to fill in wrinkles and re-colored steering wheel).
