Remember !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ?
Well, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I decided I’d better get to doing that VANOS solenoid swap my 335i had been kinda sorta asking for. Now that I was down to only one car, I figured what better time to possible colossally mess something up and leave my bimmer inoperational in an underground garage?
I started out thinking I would follow the Pelican Parts guide, but I ended up using !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I am really not a wrencher, so this simple job seemed to have many potential downfalls for me.
In fact, owing to me having a relatively late N54 instead of an N52, most steps were more complicated than the guides led on! Just taking off the damn engine cover is a whole affair, it turns out. This engine has hoses everywhere . The actual solenoid removal was a small, burnt hands affair.
I dropped one of the screws that holds the engine cover, and it now lives somewhere on the aero cover. Luckily a replacement is only $1. One of the clips for the cabin air filter cover was also lost.
But , in the end, I prevailed.
What do we say to the god of broken cars?

Not sure what that’s supposed to mean. By all accounts BMW’s N series engines are superbly engineered. When it came out in 2007, the N54 absolutely bitch slapped everything else in the category. German engineering is complicated, but it’s rarely nonsense. I don’t get the hate.
