There appears to be one tensioner on main timing chain and a tensioner on each upper VANOS chain.
You can see the main tentioner here (part #19): -

I've not heard mention of issues with the upper tensioners but somone with an M62 or who is familiar with them can comment on that.
Are you familiar with RealOEM? If not, that's about to change...
