Talked to my Brother Inlaw he is on his 6th 5 series estate he said the first 3 (HID) he would switch over as it was so simple, then apparently with the 4th it was a real faff so he never bothered the last two are LED and he has never had an issue and he does most of his mileage in the France Belgium Netherlands Germany and Poland
Hope this Helps

Hi Asif
Welcome to the Forum
First check to find out where the smoke is coming from, once your sure then make a decision on whether you can (a) DIY or (b) pay a garage. If it is the Garage route then an Internet search for BMW Specialists (there is a Register of BMW Specialists) should bring up a couple at least who are not to far from you. Then talk to them about costs etc
Good luck
Dave
Hi Tomy
Welcome to the Forum
When I rebuilt my E53 4.6is I rebuilt the Vanos system from memory the cost was around £65 for all seals and O rings which turned out to be Febi items
So are the prices you have for a rebuild kit or a refurbed Vanos ?

Hi everyone,
my BMW is due for a VANOS replacement and I’ve found two options with a big price gap:
Febi Bilstein (265.19€) - https://onlydrive.pro/parts/camshaft...bilstein-46508
Maxgear (91.29€) - https://onlydrive.pro/parts/gear-spr...axgear-54-1505
Has anyone here used either of these? How do they compare in terms of durability, fitment, and noise after installation? Is the premium for Febi Bilstein worth it, or does Maxgear hold up fine in real-world use?
Hi there all. I recently bought a bmw x1 xdrive 2014. There is smoke entering through the heater vents. Looking online ppl suggested replacing head cover and gasket. Has anyone done it? Is there anyone in Birmingham who can do it? Thank you
