I love diesel S50's, but there is a company that does fix them, for a heafty price.

drvanos DO NOT have vanos for euro motors. Or I am blind and I cant read infos on drvanos site.

You are exactly right.

I don't think you will get a better price in the US unless the Vanos is the exact same as the S54. The S50 B32 was never sold in the US. Unless you are just shopping for parts as the dealers here can get it and with the weak dollar it may be beneficial (but shipping might kill you)...assuming you can install it.

I bet if you send the core to them, they can work something out. Email them.

It will be different from the us, but pretty much the same way it works.
