BMWNA is terrible. They try to deny me warranty because of my mods which are completely unrelated. Ever since the VANOS failed the first time I've had oil consumption issues and now some oil leaks and broken intake plastic parts because my car has been taken apart so many times since.

My car had 30k miles when the VANOS failed and ruined the top end of my motor. They rebuilt it instead of giving me a new engine like they should have and it's been a nightmare since.

And the code to watch out for is 2DCE I believe. If you see this rip on the car harder so the motor blows when the VANOS fails .... otherwise you'll end up like me with problems for eternity!

BMWNA has stepped up and has covered all the expenses my repairs.
