Anyone know a decent garage that can repair my VANOS in Germany?

I took it to the local stealers in Paderborn and had them listen to the engine. So I book it in to get looked at and I look on the receipt for parts and they had booked it in for a Inspection II not to repair the VANOS.

Might have been easier had I spoken better German.

First, what is wrong with your vanos that you think you need the vanos repaired????

The VANOS is very noisey once the engine has warmed up but quiet up until this point.

So just noise? No errors, when you have the dealer run GT1 tests the vanos tests perfectly?

I do not have a source of rebuilt vanos units in EU. Perhaps ask vantaam5.

What year? What oil?

frank might be a person who could help...heck, he's reading this forum and that puts him pretty high on my list of "knowledgeable E39 M5 BMW techs"
