2007 BMW Z4

Not sure what to tell you, but I found some suggestive links with a Google search for "BMW N52 2A82 VANOS intake error code".

A few of the threads specific to recurring 2A82 VANOS errors indicated that if a new VANOS solenoid and clean screens don't fix the issue, there could be problems with the encoding "ledge" or disk on the camshaft. Another suspect could be an ESS (Eccentric Shaft Sensor) problem - though I think this should manifest a little differently.

Hope they run this to ground for you soon ! It's so nice a car when running !

If you are on FB there is a group named “The Zed Society” which seems quite lively.

USA based, maybe they could point you in the direction of a good Indy garage

Good luck

Lots of very knowledgeable folks there. Don’t give up on your car - I have a 2006 3.0si and these are wonderful cars. My car still gets compliments from folks who think it’s new or just a few years old.
