E36 Vanos solenoids alternatives

[V'NOLAN]

Hi Guys

Has anyone ever used an ABS pump solenoid as a replacement for the Vanos solenoids?

If so, will any E36 pump solenoid work or does the pump have to be an M3? Cant really tell the difference on real.oem between a M and Non M pump.

Bmw no.

First time hearing that.last week at frnr leon told me he ordered vanos solenoids for a b32 R1500 each from the agents.

I'd start a new venture at that price

14k each solenoid and 40k for the vanos I priced today
