VANOS Solenoid Valve - Genuine BMW - F22 F3X F8X F87 X3 X4 X5 X6

The variable valve timing (VANOS) on the N55/S55 6-cylinder and N63/S63 V8 is driven by this solenoid. There's a solenoid for each camshaft (2 for 6-cylinders, 4 for V8) and if they fail, the VANOS will cease to function or be slow to respond to commands from the ECU. There are very few warning signs of a VANOS failure but if you notice a loss of torque at certain RPM or worse fuel economy, these might be indications of a VANOS issue (among other causes). An experienced shop will have the computer and tools to test the VANOS system. There will usually be an associated fault code and check engine light for VANOS control or operation, and in extreme cases there will be reduced power and limp mode.

This is a Genuine BMW VANOS solenoid for either the intake or exhaust camshaft. On the N55, S55, N63, and S63 engines the solenoid is the same for all cams and banks. Sold per solenoid. O-rings included.
