I've been using INPA and NCSExpert for a while now but I really have no experience with ISTA and have had no real reason to spend the time to get it working. Recently I bought a 2007 M6 Convertible with bad rod bearings as a little project to work on. Dropped the subframe and installed new bearings, put the car back together. Everything went smooth and no more engine noise. Started her up and found out the car was also experiencing VANOS problems prior to the rod bearings going out. Apparently it had been going into limp mode for a while and thats when he noticed the bearing noise and decided to dump the car.
Anyways, I know I need to start with the VANOS test procedure in Rheingold. (This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSQyC2e7A2E). I spent the better part of the afternoon configuring everything to get the software up and running but can't really figure out where any of the test procedures are located.

Service Functions.
Look for "ABL" type procedures.

You should be able to run the engine until you get the faults, scan the car which should show the vanos issues, click the test plan button in the bottom corner, and it'll create a list of things to work through, you can cut straight to the vanos one if you like.
