The VANOS Cam Sprockets can be found under Mini Cooper Camshaft Sprocket.

Filter and solenoid valve Filter in the oil supply to the solenoid valve protects control piston and the VANOS unit from impurities greater than 100 microns.

The solenoid valve is controlled by the DME and opens the oil channel accordingly for advanced or retarded adjustment of the VANOS. Control of the solenoid valve is defined by characteristic mapping.

NOTE: Valvetronic / VANOS is BMW's version of the variable cam timing technology. Valvetronic varies the amount of valve lift while VANOS varies the duration of the valve opening / closing / overlap.
