How many miles do you have now? Eccentric Shaft Sensors are inside the VCG and that's the only one, if fails, that you will need to remove the VC again so I replaced mine. Others are external. Just a thought. I finished doing my VCG and since everything in the engine bay was removed, I decided to just replaced the parts below. I am taking my time since I have the i3 to drive so yeah the X5 been out since January. Weather plays a major role too for me slacking off since it's been cold in my garage, Denver weather and it's been crazy cold and we got a lot snow this year.


1. Eccentric Shaft Sensors x2
2. Eccentric Shaft Sensor Gaskets x2
3. Camshaft sensors x4
4. Camshaft sensors gaskets x4
5. Lower timing cover gasket left and right
6. Solenoid gaskets left and right (4 total)
7. Spark plus x8
8. Spark plug tubes x8
9. Water Pump
10. Thermostat
11. Vacuum Pump O Ring gasket
12. AC Belt
13. Serpentine Belt
14. All Coolant Hoses
15. Secondary Water Pump
16. Oil thermostat gasket (in progress)

Since the list above last/need replacement every 100K more or less, I went ahead and purchased everything from BMW (getbmwparts.com)
