Hi All, Looking for your advice. A few weeks ago, I got a CEL which showed 1b – Confirmed it’s 1b not 16. 8f – EBox Fan 72 - Exhaust Camshaft VANOS position control Cyl# 5-8 - Reading the forums, and working with AGM5 it was determined that a new Exhaust CPS would eliminate this code, and...

Hey Guys, I've in the last year purchased a nice 00 avusblau metallic M5 (9/99 production date). Absolute beauty. I have recently run into what looks and sounds like a intermittent timing issue. I recently heard it misfiring during warm up in the garage. Got in and sure enough CE light is on. I...

Hi Everyone Another VANOS issue i'm afraid! Symptoms: Stumbling feeling in car - almost as if VANOS is not adjusting at low rev's + some vibration rather like in the vanos test. No codes logged linked to vanos, sensors or fuel. New fuel pump fitted a month ago (as a PM and to try and resolve...

The short version: I'm getting code P1531 ("B" Camshaft Position Actuator Control Open Circuit Bank 1, which I believe to be the exhaust cam on the passenger's side on my LHD 2000 M5.) I have replaced the relevant CPS and refurbished the VANOS solenoid pack, and while some symptoms were...

Note: there are other threads about a similar procedure but they are either the other side of the car or make the change from under the car. These can however be helpful also for the right hand side sensor. I recently got the check engine light on and the following error codes (read with the...

I have a 2002 E39 M5 with just 72k miles and FBMWSH, which I've owned without any problems for over 6 years. Unfortunately, it has now disgraced itself with the EML coming on, which my code reader read as P0345 and also P0022; Camshaft Position Timing Over Retarded Bank 2 (I'm...

Hey guys. I've been having some bad powerless in the low rpm range up until around 4000 rpm and the SES light is on. I thought it was the MAF sensors so I changed both..still no difference. When I went to get the car registered, there was 4 codes that showed up. P0012, P0128, P0171, and P0345...

Two months ago my E39 M5 with 195K miles broke down on the highway. It went into limp mode several times in the prior days, but I was always able to recover by pulling over and shutting the engine off for a few minutes. This has happened a few times since 150K miles, but always started right...

I recently have been having some issues with the VANOS on my car. After doing much research on the board, and replacing many of the parts suggested, I am at an absolute loss here and have no idea what to do next. I have been getting the following codes from the Peak code reader: 43...

After taking my M5 to the Dealer for some free inspection checks, I get my car back and when my wife and I were going to westminster the SES light comes on. This light has never come on since I owned the car. I have had it inspected by Bav Autosport when I bought it and had the Long Beach BMW...

Can you guys post parts that you recommend should be taken care by now with 120k miles on the odo? I'm planning to drop off my car to a BMW tech buddy to have him have a lookie of the car, but wanted to give him a list of items to check or just go ahead and replace.
