Thanks for the welcome guys, I'm looking forward to becoming more active on the forum. The car has a few things that are going to be taken care of by my Indy this weekend, and I wanted some recommendations on parts. The VCG, vanos oil line, OFHG, FCAB and the ALM module on my drivers side headlight will all be replaced. I've read about the viton OFHG by bavauto and it looks to be a better option compared to the OEM one. However, my shop warranties their work and OEM parts for two years, and using this part would not be covered under the warranty. Should I just go with the OEM gasket to keep the warranty, or use the better Viton gasket? In addition to this, I've read up on the Z4m FCABs and am conflicted on whether to use those or the OEM ones. I'm interested to hear your opinions and feedback.

I personally would go with the Viton OFHG. It's what I plan to use whenever mine fails, but I plan to do that maintenance myself. The OEM OFHG should not fail in under two years, so it's unlikely you'll trigger their labor warranty anyways.
I have the Z4M FCABs and like them a lot. With that said, I probably would have been just as happy to have a new set of standard FCABs. Really a personal preference.

Definitely go with the Viton if you can. The OE gasket will fail in 2.5 years.

Went ahead and ordered the Viton gasket.
