I've had it with the piece of E36 M3 circular plastic clips all the parts stores sell. Any of you have a good brand/design you can recommend?

Depends on what you actually have to remove. I have like 3 or 4 different sets because certain times certain disconnects like a different brand.

I have the cheap plastic white ones, a Matco set, and the clamshell set from Advance. They all get used.

Yeah. I have many sets. The cheap plastic ones are sometimes the winner, too. Two tricks are to clean as much dust and crap out and spray some WD-40 in, and don't pull on the fitting while inserting the tool. Push the fitting together, twist it a bit if you can to break the oring bond, push and twist the tool in, only then pull the fitting apart.
