Thanks, im pretty sure im just going to unload both my bmws and get a truck for the wife.

Her 740 now has the same vanos timing system check engine light my x5 had when the motor went oit the first time. only this one is pulling a code for both not just one. I cleared the code friday and it came back this morning. Supposedly its a $2200 fix for a car not even worth $3500.

Btw doesnt scale there parts like the rest of the car companies it seems.
