Hey everyone-
I know I'm not the only one with installation woes on a single-VANOS (pre-2003) X5 4.4. I've finally managed to get in touch with the guys at aFe and the techs have asked me for a picture to help figure out exactly what piece is causing the trouble. The pic is posted below. I'll keep updating this thread as I learn more information. I'm determined to get this working!!
