I have a May 2010 build date, 2011 135i, with 34,000Miles (56,000Kms) on the odometer. Car is still under base warranty until May 2015/50,000Miles.
I have not experienced the Vanos bolt issue and hope I never will. I track the car and it consumes a bit of oil.
I emailed my service advisor with this issue, and asking about preventive maintenance, just for kicks. I provided the SIB number from this thread. His response was as expected " No preventive maintenance can be done, and the SIB is a simply a reference document used by service technicians to help with their diagnosis and repair"
No kidding!
All I know is Im not keeping this car after warranty expires, or I will buy a BMW extended warranty if I decide I keep the car past the base warranty.
