DISA valve- what is normal?

[imalabil]

So I took the DISA valve (driver side intake) off of my 2009 3.0i and it was

1. Covered in oil
2. Not moving - it was stuck in the open position

My old E53 DISA valve moved freely under spring tension -until it didn't an just flopped around, which is when I replaced it. Is this one supposed to do the same, or is movement commanded by the computer?

The oil also bothers me. I know I need to fix the oil filter adapter leak and will get the gaskets at the dealer this week, but I would think that would not be related to oil in the intake. That sounds like a CCV problem.

Why oh why can't BMW fix thing they MUST know are problems. This is the same sh$t as on my 2002 E53.
