Thanks guys...

fuck... I dont know if I should sell the car or not... I really don't want to she's my baby and I've only had it a year but it makes me wonder how long this piece of poop has not been in there for

the BMW tech told me it will cause oil pressure and VANOS problems as well but again he says dont worry unless I see signs

what would the signs be?

again it has 43,000KM and Ive only driven it for 8000km

I did start to notice it rarely sometimes feels like the transmission is slipping in low revs but it may be poor traction or something hope thats not the VANOS
