What tune did you get? Most tunes will delete the SCR too or at least have the option for it. Good thing to delete in my opinion since the system can be very unreliable

While I don't have ISTA working yet I did go ahead and look over the EGR and vacuum systems for leaks and didn't see anything glaring. I'll be able to dig into it more this weekend. I drove it around...

Picked up a 167k mi 2012 E70 35d a few weeks ago and the problems started almost immediately (I expected this).

Alright, I'm finally back to update this thread with my current solution. I've lived with the rattle on startup for about 10k miles. Just chalked it up to VANOS rattle due to the check valves being...

I think the only logical explanation is it's the drain back valves in the VANOS. I probably should have done the VANOS when I did the timing but I was on a time crunch. Since it's just the VANOS I'll...
