      I'm not sure what it is spooks.
      Aceman did mention it to me on the other forum to get it done while he was doing the vanos seals.

        Was the vanos leaking or did you just have them replaced due to age?

        Have you notice any difference in how the car drives?

          It was leaking from the inlet side Chris.
          only very slightly.
          and yep the power is back but not that I'd really noticed it lacking but it now feels very lively and strong with much more of the vanos kick .
          money well spent when I feel the difference.

          Edit...the one thing that I did notice is the engine seems to drop its revs quicker (more engine braking) but that may be a placebo effect..!!

            Just wanted to add my thoughts to the thread....

            Darren Woods BMW is the best garage I have ever used in over 10 years of M ownership. They looked after my heavily modified M3 Evo and now look after my Mcoupe. They used to look after my friends Evo saloon, and look after a bunch of other M3s belonging to other friends (e36/e46/e90/e92). I have known them for a long long time and have always had a first class service, as have every other person I've known use them. I really would not take my Car anywhere else.
