Review on Dorman 917-241 VVT Solenoid for BMW Models - Engine Variable Valve Timing Solution by John Kennedy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An excellent alternative to OEM

I ordered these for my 2008 BMW 328xi because I needed new ones after having a terrible shaking at idle after tuning, so I cleaned my old ones and the problem went away. I wanted to replace them as these were the ones that arrived on my car it was new. So I thought since they are old it is better to replace them. They looked just like the OEMs I originally had. I would also advise you to change them yourself instead of taking them to a shop. One next to me wanted over $500 and I found them a lot cheaper. Also, it literally took me about 30 minutes to get the old ones out and put the new ones in, it's very easy, you can find a youtube video on how to do it yourself. But in general I have to say that over the past two days I've definitely noticed an increase in my acceleration and my MPG seems to have gone up which is always a huge bonus for everyone. If you have any questions about these vanos magnets, please feel free to contact us. ask me. If you found my review helpful, please check if it was helpful. Thanks very much!
