Having Idle Issues with your S85 watch this

In this video I go over changing the VANOS Solenoid O-Rings and how it improves the response and idle quality of the E6X M Series with the S85. Due to the High Pressure Nature of the S85 VANOS system it is key that the system is able to control the fluid flow and pressure in the system.
The O-Rings that came factory with the car are now approaching almost 20 years old at the time of this video and have seen better days.
O - Ring Sizes
- 10.1 ID x 1.6 Wide
- 11.1 ID x 1.6 Wide
- 12.1 ID x 1.6 Wide
- 21mm ID x 1.5 Wide
You can also purchase the O-Rings from my website I am currently selling the set for 20 Shipped within the United States

Awesome video brother . Simply awesome! Close to a quarter of a million miles on this E60 M5!!!!! S85 owner here: E60 m5 and E64 M6. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge!

[@HalfAssBuilt]

It's actually past a quarter now I did most of the filming a while ago just put the video together recently she's about to be at 256k miles soon haha. Thanks for ordering the O-Rings from me I greatly appreciate it

Im swapping my injectors soon and this ista function is a plus instead of forcefully deactivating them. Thank you! Will def do it thru ista

[@HalfAssBuilt]

For swapping the injectors I would probably say do about 4 on off cycles with the key switch I'll also look and see if there is a prime function for the pump if you want to use ista. I would recommend changing your fuel filter at the same time if you haven't already

Thanks for the video. Keep the s85 content coming!

[@HalfAssBuilt]

I'll try I'm getting my M6 prepped back for track duty so I'm going to be documenting some of the maintenance I'm going to be doing to it so I should have a couple more coming

[@anthonypenaflor]

Nice video, some metrics would be insightful for future content. But I'm sure just having your car not stall anymore is a big plus.

[@HalfAssBuilt]

Yeah I could have done more but I think it just being able to hold the set point cam position is already such a huge improvement. Also you better get sub 2:06 on the 6th

[@jeremiahex]

What unit did you use to activate the solenoids? The unit by your feet is barely visible.

This is something that is similar I used a dc power supply and set it to 5v. Actually I'll try to get the part number for the connector tomorrow
