These are the updated new design and are what everyone else seems to be using in all the valve stem seals DIY videos I'd watched- from AgaTools to other DIY youtube videos - and I didn't want to experiment with any other valve stem seals kits including from BMW itself.

Don't forget to get the magnetic valve stem seal installer. It will save you frustrations from using the red plastic installer:

The BMW N62 N73 Valvetronic Spring Tension Tool will also save you hours of frustrations when the spring comes off the intermediate levers.
Thanks for the help. I'm leaning towards the E Euro ones now as a "Made in Germany" claim is worth an extra $12 on this job! Would sure like to give up smoking as a New Year's resolution!
