N18 valve cover options

Hello all,

The valve cover of my 2012 R60s is finally leaking at 70k miles. Was looking at the options from ECS. I remember reading that anything other than Genuine Mini doesn’t hold up. Their Bremmen option is very cost effective though and had good experience with their products. Any experience from the folks here? I’ve included the ECS link below.

Thanks!

Hello,

Its a good cover option. Some people had issues with that back corner on install as the fuel line comes close to the Genuine and aftermarket version.
