After all of that... it might just end up being carbon buildup. That happens about every 50K miles. More so on the N54's than N55's.

Good Luck,

P0012 is a timing code, it's most definitely vanos related. I just took out the intake side and cleaned it up, if it doesn't help I'll swap a new unit in.
