    If i'm not mistaken I think all S50s had vanos, so this must be an M50. Anyone know otherwise?

      That would appear to be an M50NV but there is a small chance the VANOS was just deleted. To know for sure, you need to look at the stamp on the block. It's just above the oil pan on the driver's side. If there is a "25" stamped onto it, it's an M50NV.
