I also am not sure what I'll need to do the intake manifold and get it cleaned up since it's soaked in oil. I'm guessing the CCV and VPG kit will take care of this, or is there something I'm missing?

Nathan how many miles on are on your X5? If over the 100k mark then its good assurance to do the guides and be done with it. Doing the Besian seals is not difficult. If you just watch the provided video you can save yourself a few dollars on the Vanos units by rebuilding them yourself. My brother and a I have done 4 sets to date on our customers vehicles. Not difficult at all.
