Finally I have some stuff loose to see what has happened on drivers side I actually found the piece that was missing and im wondering if I could have broken it when I took the valve cover apart.

On the passenger side the timing chain seems to have streched. Propably faulty tensioners to and has started to chew about 1 mm on the solenoid not that much but enough make me wonder if there has been cheep china shit chains in this beamer. Both tensioners are bmw oem. I don´t know if they changed the tensioners but the spring in them has verry little pressure.

Im taking down the oil pan another day and has to do a pick list of parts I could need. Did a leakdown and I dont have any bent valves, but it was hard do do because the timing is a bit off...

I sure as hell caught this just in time.
