J jamesbond Senior member UK Mar 17, 2015 #1 just a quick question does the E89 35is have Hydraulic tappets ? the only reason I ask is that when I look at real OEM it looks like they don't ? also it looks like they do not have shims like the S54 engine members thoughts ? regards

R ronk Lifer Durham Mar 17, 2015 #11 Probably the kiss o death - No! My old E85 had a replacement motor/pump assy at 8years.
J jamesbond Senior member UK Mar 18, 2015 #12 Hi Another tech question does the 35is have vanos ? variable valve timing ? again from real oem it looks like it does not? is this the case with turbo engines in this car ? thanks

R ronk Lifer Durham Mar 18, 2015 #14 Don't worry! Keep it well serviced and buy a warranty when the time is right.
