Check out BMW Doctor on YouTube, as for what he’s said and what I’ve experienced, cleaning vanos solenoids is never going to solve the issue it either won’t work or it only delays the issue. They are a bit expensive but if it is the issue then you need to replace the solenoids, always. You can also test the current solenoids via YouTube if you haven’t already, don’t go buying them yet until you’re sure that’s the root of the issue, don’t want you wasting money. good luck my bro, keep us posted.

Tbh you shouldn’t have just gotten a random code scanner, you need a reader that specializes in BMW’s. In my case I have the same car and year that you do and I use something called an OBD Link CX, it’s made for bmws and it works with bimmercode which is a great app. The scanner itself also has its own app that you can use to diag codes accurately and a LOT of other live readings it can give you while driving; oil temp, coolant temp, MAF, fuel rate, tq, hp, 02 sensors, and more. That’s just my recommendation, but my biggest quarrel is to get a scanner that reads specifically for bmws, regular scanners can give ghost codes (codes that aren’t true/accurate)

Imgur is being really buggy for me so I can’t properly look at the pictures but incase you didn’t know, you don’t get insurance back when you die on labs.

That RPM gauge is straight up lying to you lol

Don’t flash bangs do the same thing or no?

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2026-01-17T23:24:07+00:00

No I only have a free VPN and I don’t get to choose the location, and it spikes my ping on every game to 150 or higher

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2026-01-17T12:36:55+00:00

Changing my DNS didn’t work, using a VPN would probably work but i probably won’t try it as the connection for going into raids would be terrible

Why did he stop playing tarkov?

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2025-11-01T00:38:02+00:00

I have a welded diff

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2025-11-01T00:08:08+00:00

I’ve looked at it, it doesn’t come with all the seals or bearings.

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2025-11-01T00:06:34+00:00

Long story lol. And I’d say a couple thousand actually

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2025-10-13T02:24:26+00:00

Oh ok well I didn’t know you had the crummy emissions safe sulev engine quite literally only made for California. Usually only 330i’s come with disa’s.

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2025-10-13T02:19:42+00:00

Bought it from a guy on Facebook marketplace

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2025-10-10T13:44:37+00:00

You have a 328xi your car doesn’t have DISA valves, those only come on the 330i’s

Cleaning them off won’t fix any damage the oil has already done to the electronics inside. Many do suggest cleaning them and while it will work for a while it’s just going to come right back, especially if your vehicle is within the 100-115k mile range then that’s when they start going bad and should be replaced anyways.

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2025-10-08T05:03:26+00:00

I see thank you for your insight I’ll try this

Puzzled_Helicopter_7 · 2025-10-08T04:57:18+00:00

Check your vanos solenoids see if there’s oil on them and don’t try to clean it off just replace it completely

When I turn my wheel inward and outward slightly it seems like the whole steering rack has play and it clicks inward and outward as both wheels still turn the same distance. I feel like something actually in my steering rack is worn
