WTB: Vanos units - Good, bad or ugly.
I'm looking for some E39 M5 vanos units, solenoids, cam gears, vanos tools.... anything remotely related to these vanos units.

They DO NOT have to be working, complete, or even pretty (but priced accordingly of course), so please PM me if you have anything.

I guess I should say that I'm not really looking for 'brand new $1500 vanos units' though.

WOW... when hear someone is doing something great, a great idea, you think - - 'why didn't I think of that' - that type of thing...

Someone refurbishing VANOS unts is one of those things, IF they can do it for a decent price...
