        My understanding is that all US s50's are single VANOS.

            You might be right, wiki shows table... I searched BMW S50.....The BMW M50 is a straight-6 DOHC piston engine was produced from 1990-1996. It was released in the E34 520i and 525i, to replace the M20 engine. It began to be phased out following the introduction of the M52 engine in 1994.

            Compared with its M20 predecessor, the M50 features DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder, coil-on-plug ignition, a knock sensor and a lightweight plastic intake manifold.[1] As per the M20, the M50 uses an iron block with an alloy head.[2]

            In September 1992, the M50 was upgraded to the M50TU ("technical update"), which added variable valve timing to the intake camshaft (called single VANOS by BMW).[3]

            The E36 M3 was powered by the S50 engine series, which a high output version of the M50.

            But the table shows brackets (US market)...

              S50 is definitely has Vanos, only the early M50 was a non Vanos motor

                    The set on my car is the first one I've ever seen in person, so I do believe the Zender kit is somewhat uncommon. However, I've been wrong before (once), so any other thoughts on the subject are welcome.

                      I wish I could buy another one because this combination of parts is well worth the asking price and bound to be an extremely enjoyable car.
