DISA Valve Failures

I have gone thru two sets of VAICO DISA valves in very short order this year. BPC just replaced the second set for me with Genuine BMW parts.

I know someone else...fella from Tennessee that had his 128i in to BPC for MILVS has the same issue with VAICO valves. Any other folks experience this?

The vaico valves to me at least they look like just Chinese drop shipped valves. I've bought several Chinese valves and taken them apart and the similarities are many. Usually what fails is the electronics inside, circuit board specially. It's a toss up some people have good luck and others say they are junk. Give them a try.
