so vanos is just like the VTEC technology which is good. just probably need to address the rebuild of the actual vanos unit or the maintenance on it.

idk, i just bought an M50 vanos and I was told that was better. oh well.

this actually attracts me to it:

"VANOS operates on the intake camshaft in accordance with engine speed and accelerator pedal position. At the lower end of the engine-speed scale, the intake valves are opened later, which improves idling quality and smoothness. At moderate engine speeds, the intake valves open much earlier, which boosts torque and permits exhaust gas re-circulation inside the combustion chambers, reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Finally, at high engine speeds, intake valve opening is once again delayed, so that full power can be developed. VANOS significantly enhances emission management, increases output and torque, and offers better idling quality and fuel economy."

vanos tend to break a lot. i prefer no vanos also.

i've read that but I came across this website and it will be worth the investment.

My friends e36 vert was vanos. Mechanics charge out the ass to fix the vanos, so my friend decided to swap the engine.
