Don't be fooled by cheaper kits on the internet. The seals and bearings are not the same quality. There is a reason they are less than half the price.  Buy with confidence here.

BMW introduced VANOS in the early 90s, and it added variable valve timing to their famous straight six. Over time the VANOS unit wears out and you can develop error codes, or the famous VANOS rattle. The rattle will sound like marbles or rocks at the front of the engine rolling around. We have sourced quality replacement parts in an easy kit. Our kit is offered in 3 different versions.

*Note: a modified 18mm socket is needed to disassemble the VANOS unit. We are now offering this socket at a small charge. If you have a 1993 model single VANOS car, the 18mm socket will not work. You will need a modified 17mm socket.

NEW! - Now offering our Race German upgraded stainless steel PTFE VANOS oil feel line with custom stainless steel banjo bolts as an option in the drop down. This includes a 100% lifetime warranty on the VANOS line. Click HERE to learn more.

Have a 1993 325 cab and the 17mm socket does not fit for the rebuild. (Vanos kit)
Dont know why it stands 1993 only and not fit.
The rest of the order was ok

I haven’t installed the parts yet as I just started putting the s52 together the other day, but in my experience as a bmw tech it looks like good quality and the shipping was fast. Also I got 3 stickers which is always dope.

Worked great, fast shipping. Can't believe how much power was robbed with a malfunctioning VANOS.

Everything came well packaged and in perfect shape, fast shipping too. The ECS tuning instructions PDF file is a nice touch, greatly appreciate you guys for sharing that on the website. This kit and specific instructions helped me get my VANOS unit back to new with perfect bearing preload and zero play/rattle. Back to 100%. Having upgraded Viton seal and better quality bearings gives me peace of mind that my M50 will keep performing how it should for a long time before I have to rebuild my VANOS unit again.
