Build Journal: a special series
Why the S65 keeps me up at night.
In 2021, a few S65 engine failures were reported and the culprit was diagnosed to the plastic VANOS gear covers.
In this Special Series, I take you how this was discovered, the solutions available on the market, my unboxing impressions of these snap-in covers and final installation tips.
Enjoy,

Reassuring clicks, a snug snap-in fit.
There are 6x tabs that are used to snap-in. The others are there to align the cover to the cam gears.
Installation notes
Just like OEM, if BMW offered them separately.
The Snap-In metal covers mimic the Genuine BMW plastic snap-in mechanism.
The OEM covers have slight plastic tabs to snap into the covers. Verify (twice) that each tab is properly snapped in before putting it back together : )
If you don't feel comfortable doing this, buy this for your shop to snap in while in there.
