Now I just need to figure out the CEL. Seems like the X5 is idling low, and there's a slight rhythmic gallop that wasn't there, but otherwise everything is working fine.

Did you do the "Crimping" procedure on the vanos? I think you are supposed to drive it 200 miles for them to break in according to the instructions. I don't know if that is your problem. Also, your computer will be in "learning" mode.....adjusting for optimum fuel air for your various rpm vs. airflow tables.

Do you feel more power at the lower rpms? Any rattles at all on start up? Glad you got past those coolant issues!
