We are not BMW AG or MINI, we are not appointed by them, and BMW and MINI are their trademarks. What we sell are parts that fit those cars, described as such. Every listing states the chassis codes and engine codes it fits, the production date range, which quality tier you are buying, the labour time the job actually takes, and whether the part needs coding to the car before it will work. Where a part is only made in plastic by the factory and fails because it is plastic, we say so and we offer the metal one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification and fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: 3 Series E46 E90 E91 E92 E93 F30, 5 Series E39 E60 F10, X3 E83 F25, X5 E53 E70, 1 Series E87 F20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: chosen above. These cars change mid production, sometimes twice in a model year, and two cars built four months apart can take different parts. Send us the last seven digits of your VIN with the order and we check the part against the build record before anything is dispatched. It takes us two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 1998 to 2018 depending on chassis and engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: made by the firm that supplies the vehicle manufacturer, in that firm's own box rather than a dealer box. Identical part, identical line, no dealer margin, and this is what we would fit ourselves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: cross referenced to the original equipment number for your VIN and confirmed before dispatch. We do not publish a single number against a listing that covers several build variants, because that is how people order the wrong part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failure this addresses: VANOS is the variable valve timing. On the M52 and M54 it is a rattle at idle caused by perished seals, which is a seal kit and an afternoon. On the N series it is usually a solenoid, which is a twenty minute job and a hundred pounds. Neither is the engine failure people fear when they read the fault code, and the diagnosis is worth doing before the wallet comes out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: three to five hours on a VANOS or breather kit, eight to fourteen on a cylinder head, and a full engine out job on the rebuild kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoding: no coding, but the adaptation values want resetting with a diagnostic tool afterwards or the car will run on the old learned figures for a while\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso needed: engine oil and filter afterwards, new stretch bolts throughout, and a coolant change where the head comes off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque: every head bolt and VANOS bolt is single use, torqued then angled. On the six cylinder VANOS the sprocket bolts are famous for backing out, and the kit includes the later specification bolts and the correct thread lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 4.6 kilograms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagnose first: a VANOS fault code is not a VANOS unit. Nine times out of ten it is a solenoid, which is a hundred pounds and twenty minutes, and it is worth proving that before anything bigger comes apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmissions: We do not sell diesel particulate filter deletes, catalyst deletes, EGR blanks or emissions defeat software. They are illegal on a road car in the UK, they are an MOT failure, and they invalidate insurance. Everything on the performance pages here keeps the emissions equipment intact, because that is the only kind of performance part worth fitting to a car you drive on a road.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwirl flaps: if your engine is an M47 or M57, ask us about the swirl flaps before anything else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprocket bolts: on the M52 and M54 VANOS the sprocket bolts back out and wreck the engine. The later bolts and the correct thread locking compound are in every kit here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat arrives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eevery seal, gasket and O ring in the job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esolenoids where the kit includes them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esingle use stretch bolts and the later specification sprocket bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethread locking compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted instructions with torque figures and angles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe special tools the job needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree to five hours on the smaller kits and a good deal more on a cylinder head. The special tools are in the kit, which on a VANOS job is most of the reason people pay somebody else. Reset the adaptations afterwards or the car will run on its old learned values for a while and feel wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore you buy anything on this page, have the fault properly diagnosed. A VANOS code is usually a forty pound solenoid rather than a thousand pound overhaul, oil under the car is usually one of two gaskets rather than a rear main seal, and a rattle at idle is more often a dual mass flywheel than a timing chain. We will read a fault list for free and tell you which of those it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a workshop service carried out at our premises at Unit 1 Main Road, Tydd Gote, Wisbech PE13 5QD. It is available to UK customers only. After you order we contact you within one working day to book your car in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bavarian Spares","offers":[{"title":"N52 and N53 six cylinder","offer_id":58819801678088,"sku":"BVS-VAN-004-N52","price":1349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M52 and M54 six cylinder","offer_id":58819801710856,"sku":"BVS-VAN-004-M54","price":1274.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"N54 N55 and B58 turbo","offer_id":58819801743624,"sku":"BVS-VAN-004-N55","price":1649.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1064\/1037\/7480\/files\/VANOS_Overhaul_Kit_with_Fitting_in_OE_Supplier_339cc118-c4ce-4d9e-b059-5810f69d3cd2.jpg?v=1790088723","url":"https:\/\/bavarianspares.com\/products\/vanos-overhaul-kit-with-fitting-in-oe-supplier","provider":"Bavarian Spares","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
