We have seen so many M52/M54/S52 Vanos line failures at the track that we have to offer you a solution. The factory line is prone to failure due to the OEM hard-line - this rubber line alleviates the issues imposed by the factory design and enables you to worry less about your Vanos system. We trust ECS Tuning's Exact-Fit Stainless Steel lines for several different applications, and their M52/M54/S52 Vanos line is no exception. Bavarian Autosport's M52/M54/S52 Exact-Fit Rubber Vanos Line offers several benefits over OEM. Not is it they more durable and reliable OEM, but it is also easier to install, and significantly less expensive than the factory BMW Vanos line (11361705532) or other alternatives available on the market. If you're factory Vanos line hasn't failed yet, we still recommend replacing yours with Bavarian Autorsport's Exact Fit Rubber Vanos Line M52/M54/S52 to avoid eminent future failure.
