So I figured it was time for new VANOS solenoids on the 535xi. It's the N54, Being a klutz, I didn't see the old "O" ring stuck in the engine when I installed the new solenoids. I got a VANOS error when I started the car to test. I pulled the solenoids and can see with an Endoscope part of the "O" ring in the chamber. I grabbed it with long nosed pliers but it was stuck solid.
Now that I have removed the valve cover, the part of "O" ring has disappeared. Should I simply reassemble and pray?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
