eBay gasket set

[senorcarey]

Does anyone have any thoughts on this gasket set? This is a great price, but I wonder if the quality is there.

Does the PN listed google to anything? And of course it's not a complete kit as well.

Holy crap, thats the price for an ebay kit, and just head gasket?

I don't have any direct experience with ITM gaskets, but I've heard of people using them without issues. If it were me though, I'd stick with OE, at least on the head gaskets. Especially considering how difficult they would be to replace with the m60 in an e30. That's not a good place to cut corners.

Yep, OEM ones are only $60+ each iirc. I know from first hand experience some of the stuff you get from AutohausAZ for example WILL NOT last even a year.

Many hoses for example I ended up replacing twice on m30, paid 2x and got the dealer OEM parts in the end. The cheaper parts just don't last, the ICV hose for example would colapse under vacuum and developed a 2-3" crack...intake boot developed a bunch of cracks too. Cheap exhaust hangers rip after a few month of use....
