    Found: Single Vanos unit.

    So, I fucked up my vanos on the '95 M3.

    Need a new unit ASAP, but on the cheap cheap cheap. (Come on, this is r3v....)

    Thanks!

            94 or 95 if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure they're all the same though. I've actually got 3 of them.

              Okay. '93 had a 17mm nut on the piston, all others are an 18mm. This car had one from a '99 on it, so it's been replaced once before. I'll let you know. My friend is searching through his pile as we speak.

                    Rebuilding your vanos seals and piston? Just did mine last night. Spring fever. Two more to finish.

                      Yeah. I fucked up and didn't make sure the piston was flush flush before putting it in the vice and cranking down. !!!CRACK!!! and the inner cylinder broke in half.

                      Oh well, now the shop has a nice single vanos to show people what needs replacing when we do the seals!
