Aftermarket valve cover 3.0

Has anyone had success with the aftermarket valve covers available on the internet? I would purchase OEM, but it's around $400. Wondering if I can get away with an aftermarket choice. I am replacing due to warped/cracked cover and subsequent oil leaks over and over, so I know the next step is the cover.

I went with an aftermarket one from RM European. I didn’t have any issues and it came with the valve cover gasket. Be sure to get new grommets for the valve cover bolts and have the production date of your X.

I ended up getting a new OEM unit from BMA made by Rein. So far so good...
