Ard, sure appreciate your advise but sure can do without the acerbic candor Do keep your suggestions coming.

It's just been a crazy week for me 'cause I had promised my daughter to take her to Disney, with the X5 out of action I had to take my 3 series, plus the dealer was taking their time to connect with BMW. I had already left a msg for my Indy but could only connect back once I returned from my trip.

The Indy says it's very rare to have a damaged Vanos assembly, usually these errors are thrown by dirty solenoids which can be cleaned for $150 bucks. If there is indeed wear and tear they can be replaced for a few hundred.

I also got the estimate from the dealer, they are still gonna charge 1000+ even with BMWNA pitching 50%, so no guesses where I am taking the car for a checkup.
