Vanos sensor
My vanos sensors are going out and i looked at tischer's site but they only have it labeled "Control valve solenoid", I need both the Intake and Exhaust solenoids. My question is are they the same, do i order two of the Vanos solenoids?

They are the identical. Before you order the new ones, try cleaning them first using a spray cleaner and switching them around i.e. exhaust to intake and vice versa. I learned that from Eninty in this forum (thanks go to him for that).

tried cleaning them and even sea foamed them but still causing problems. I also noticed my car has been smoking a lot through the exhaust and I'm assuming thats being caused by the solenoids but idk

From what I read, if you have bad VANOS solenoids and go WOT, it will give check engine light. Or get a BT Tool to scan for codes. You might want to pinpoint the problem before spending $200 on these parts. Yes the two solenoids are same.

i already got the codes, and I've been experiencing the check engine light and SES light, its just my car is also producing a lot of smoke so I'm wondering if thats the VANOS sensors.

What exactly were the codes?
Perhaps there are three possibilities- vanos solenoids gone bad since you already tried cleaning and swapping, camshaft sensor itself or fuse in the engine electronics box. |

Well they're going out because I'm pushing more hp than stock and its wearing down the solenoids. I don't think i can get them replaced by BMW because the code rarely appears

They cost $100..i would just err on the side of caution and replace...as opposed to cleaning

Just went through a nightmare with mr. VANOS. I suspected correctly it was worse. In the end dealer performed oil change, both VANOS replaced, cam ledges replaced, and cleaned carbon build up. I then replaced the plugs since they didnt think it was necessary. All of this until codes stopped occurring good luck and I hope it is only VANOS.
