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.

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.

Great stuff and refurbed the Vanos impressively. Highly recommend. Revs came back with a vengeance.

Great Kit but should include gasket for Vanos covers with the four bolts that go over pistons

O

Kit works good, feels a decent amount quicker but I don’t recommend using the t30 screw they give for the camshaft, barley even tightened mine and it snapped with some threads in the camshaft, luckily it was loose enough I could get it out without using an extractor

Great Kit came with everything needed and more used on a M 52TUB 28 that had been neglected. Great time to do when doing a valve cover gasket. Would’ve put some photos in if it was an option.

Quick mailing just installed works well. Consider adding to the kit or as optional additions either 2 new plugs with o-ring or 2 new o-rings and the vamos piston gaskets. I really liked that I was able to talk to a representative.

Parts were as promised and delivered on time. My son already completed the rebuild. He and the car are loving it. Running well and rattle is gone. Black, 190,000 mile, 2005 E46 ZHP, 6 speed, my 16 YO son’s daily driver.

All the parts were there. No identification of country of origin. Could be the same Chinese parts you can get for a quarter the price. Who knows. Instructions would also be helpful for the price.

Quick shipping and the kit did what it was supposed to do!
