The valve retainer is one of the most stressed and critical pieces in the cylinder head of the E36 323is/328i/M3, E46 323i/325i/328i/330i, E39 525i/528i/530i, E60 525i/530i, and X3/X5, and Z4. Some say it is the most critical. The spring retainer is the upper spring seat and keeps the spring in place around the valve. It's under tremendous pressure and sees a lot of fatigue. If you have the cylinder head open and the cams removed it would be very smart to replace the retainers at the same time.

Don't forget to replace the valve keepers above the retainer too!
