Im about to start purchasing parts for the valve seals but would like to know what type of seals everyone is recommending?

BMW appears to have a newer style but it doesn't have the lip that seats on the valve guide. A few places online have Victor Reinz Seals red tops with seats. Does anyone know what AGA uses? Just need some feedback on what seats I should go with.
Thanks in advance.

Mein Auto: BMW 645CI Sport

Valve Steam Seals Replaced (He states - cheap about 2K)
Victorious!! My smoking 645ci convertible is fixed! and whats even better it didnt cost me an arm and a leg. Luckily there is a well experienced an trusted technician here in the bay area (CA) that is able to do the job. J&B Superior Auto Repair (Jose) mobile mechanic. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing the same embarrassing problem or other heavy labor job.

This website has helped me out tremendously and I thought I should return the favor by passing on this excellent resources thats extremely affordable.

Let me know if theres is anyone thats seaking this help, ill be glad to pass it on.

Sorry wasn't trying to start drama on here. I figured since the X is in the 200k range its about time to get them out anyways. I was just hoping to be able to get some miles from it before having to worry about this.
