Diagnosis is performed by spending time to find the route cause of the fault.
I have no idea what they did or even if vanos failure could cause misfires/low compression. But my gut says no.
Are these BMW specialists you are taking it to, or do they service all makes?

They pulled the codes and did some addl checking......don't know what the "addl checking" entailed.
The second Indy shop confirmed their findings.
I have zero plans to put $1800 into this car but I do have the desire to try and do the vanos work myself.
My debate right now is deciding which would be easier, to install a new driver side vanos or get a used head assy with the vanos already attached. I can get a driver side head with a fully functional vanos, cams, lifters and valves for $250.
I just don't know which would be the less difficult to deal with.
Any ideas?
