Yes 1999 onwards is double Vanos. You can see at the vanos head there is 2 of them. Also can check from the modic.

Either that or you can check the VIN of the car.


Looking for a 523 myself, how much did you get it for and where?

suppose M52TU and M54 engines come with double vanos. Correct-ar Alvin?

 

[fssiaw]
