The vanos unit is not part of the auto transmission. Its a unit that is installed at the front of the engine block. I suspect your engine doesn't have vanos as it is pre 1993 model. I can't explain the function of the vanos unit but what I can say its similar to Honda's Vtec. But [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M50"]here[/ame] is the link to WIKI which explains abit about vanos for the M50 engine. Anyway you can punch in your VIN number (the last 7 digits of the chassis no) into realoem.com and it should tell you if your engine has vanos or not.
