They all all seem pretty similar. I’m not excited with ECS Tuning quality lately. Bimmerworld should know what they’re doing so makes me curious.

The BW is $42 w/ tax right now (black friday sale) and the ECS is $72 (on sale) with tax. I bought the ECS last night and am already questioning my choice due to concerns over ECS quality, may just simply go BW, although I like how the ECS line is tucked away.

I have an RE and didn’t like it bc it didn’t have two adel clamps to secure it. (yeah yeah I could’ve gone and bought one) Just get the bimmerworld

I'm pretty sure they only recommend to change annually if its a dedicated track car.

Word. You would know better than me. 👍

I have the Bimmerworld one. Cheap, easy install, fit perfect. Good piece of mind.

IIRC, all aftermarket lines are recommended to be replaced after some period of time. I believe the v2 OEM line is lifetime (or at least much longer).

I went through this earlier in the year, I could not find a definitive answer. Of all versions, I found that the RE line is rated at the highest pressure threshold. I, however, chose ECS as their design allow for a very stealth placement of the line so you run it parallel to the engine instead of routing it at an angle coming out of the VANOS

I've got all the fun little Beisan parts for my rebuild and wondered if the M3 community has come to a consensus on what the best Vanos line is.
