Royal Purple, worth the extra?

Looking at the servicing for my forthcoming new E36 M3 evo. Should I stick to Opie and the likes of Fusch or Silkolene, or try RP?

Also going to do the vanos seals and bolts asap just for piece of mind. Anything to cause concern when changing them.

I used RP and it is very good - and is purple, weird.

Re - vanos seals, you will need all 8 O rings plus the cover gasket. Mine just fell apart. Id probably get 2 just in case, and dont coat it with grease like you do the O rings, it will turn to mush.
Id do the vanos filter too whilst your hands are dirty.

Cheers Neil, I was going to get both kits from iridium-engineering in soton.

On another note I see you have recommended people in South Coast for servince, who are your current faves?

Brystone BMW in Houndsdown. The best I have found to date.
