2a82 VANOS INTAKE AND 2A98

[RAYMOND DOUCET]

My 2006, 530 xi, WOT the car seems to hiccup around 3700 rpm. for 2 seconds and then is normal. Almost sounds like the transmition is hesitating. Two codes are appearing, 2A98 and 2A82. Is this a symptom of the solenoid going bad?

Hello,
I get check engine light with fault codes 2A82 and 2A98. My car has 115000 miles but runs good. However, I have to get it inspected and the check engine is keep going on. I have replaced exhaust and intake vanos solenoids and the intake camshaft sensor, changed the oil with synthetic bland of 5w 30. But I doesn't seems to help. I reset the engine light drive it less than 8 miles it comes back.

I have heard that BMW Dealers have this software that corrects this check engine light condition as follows;

The following software errors were corrected with the release of CIP 17.01(Target data Status E060-05-06-500).
1. Vehicles equipped with 6HP26 up to 4/05, customer complains of harsh downshift.
2. Vehicle may be difficult to start, run rough and/or the "Service Engine Soon" light is illuminated. One or more of
the following faults may be stored.
-2A9A Cam sensor, inlet signal – signal invalid for synchronization
-2A98 Crankshaft-inlet camshaft, correlation- Value outside reference range
-2A82 VANOS intake- stiff, jammed mechanically
-2A9B Cam sensor, exhaust signal – signal invalid for synchronization
-2A99 Crankshaft- exhaust camshaft, correlation- Value outside reference range
-2A87 VANOS exhaust- stiff, jammed mechanically
3. The customer may complain that the Brake Force Display (BFD) function does not operate.

Does any body knows anything about this? PLEASE HELP
