Reusing the grommets is a problem. I would say spend the bucks on the OEM (nitril) gasket AND grommets.

^ Guaranteed to leak. These little seals harden, crack and leak. The metal crews stop you from over tightening as the metal on metal point causes screw failure (i.e. breakage). This is a bad thing
Cheap-ing out on this simple low cost item just means you get to do it again!

Note: Cheap gasket kit will mean the same. Buy wisely.

MPR is a BMW branded part.
