I don't, sorry. I have a 2009 328i and there's apparently 2 VANOS sensors. An exhaust VANOS and another (sorry, I'm not really in the know since I hired my mechanic to do it). But if you can look up the VANOS sensors you'll probably be able to find the part. Thing is with these BMWs so many different issues can cause this type of this so definitely get the P codes with a diagnostic device and make sure it's the VANOS that's failing. The diagnosis will tell you that. I have read online that these VANOS sensors are made of a material that degrades after about ~60,000 miles so that's why it's such a common problem. So if you're BMW has approximately that many miles, that could be the issue. But if you have much less miles that might indicate it's something else. Good luck - sorry I'd help more if I was more legit
