I'm looking for a s38 gasket for my m30 because i've
read that it has better cooling.

This is the cheapest i've seen. Is that a crappy brand?
The other one i've seen is BMW from pelican parts and is 160bux.

I've heard anecdotal stories of Victor Reinz head gaskets not being super optimal, so I'd go for an Elring gasket given that.

Hard to find.

bma only has victor
pelican only has BMW.
Don't know where else to look.

vr everything else sucks, the head gaskets seem to follow suite, but you don't always have a choice

In several cases, VR is what you will get from BMW, so its likely the same gasket.
