And thanks, that really clears it up. Yeah, I'd try a crank sensor if it's easy enough. Other suspects are the loose/broken VANOS bolts. Definitely let the dealer handle that one. I tried it myself and had mixed results. I'm certainly not a BMW expert and I hate throwing parts at a car to fix it, but these things are difficult to diagnose sometimes. Hopefully someone wiser chimes in.
Yeah well the VC and gaskets needed to be done anyways since PCV went out.
Vanos solenoids at junkyard were like $20.
I’ll try crank sensor and maybe camshaft sensors? Vanos bolts im going to leave to dealer just wanted to get it running so i can drive it to the dealer lol.
