re-post the thread at the M3 section in the forum. I put its link below so you can copy and paste the thread there! wishing I can help you but I did have enough knowledge about M3 engines but hoping that you have a small problem and every thing become good with you

Sounds like you need a vanos re-vamp to me.

Luckily it's not a hard thing to do yourself and is fairly cheap.

Go here: http://www.beisansystems.com/

Buy everything you need for the S50. Send me a PM and I will loan you the tools to get the job done. (See sig for more rental info)

Another option is a Dr.Vanos kit, or upgrade. Either way you will need the vanos tools. Dr.Vanos is a more expensive option, but can be done.
