Very annoying, car basically blows this error every start and then I use bimmerlink and it clears after a few clears and a key out restart and we're good. Driving me mad obviously, thinking it might be a vanos solenoid? The car runs absolutely fine regardless, just loves this stupid limp mode error.

I think the colder weather is bringing it up more, but overall just wishing it'd go away!

 

They are 2x different codes
2C58 is a boost pressure plausability error. This is a collective fault, related to other codes, no recommended actions

2D60 is a Vanos / exhaust valve / control valve fault. Potential problem source(s):- Contaminated oil passage at VANOS solenoid valve- Oil pressure too low- Defect in wiring harness to VANOS solenoid valve- VANOS solenoid valve seized. Recommended actions : Check oil level, change engine oil and filter as indicated- If faults related to the camshaft position sensor have been logged, repair these first- Check wiring harness between VANOS solenoid valve and DME- Perform system test - Check camshaft and VANOS unit for freedom of movement and mechanical damage- Clean VANOS solenoid valve, replace as required-. Also mentions that this can lead to code 2C58, as boost pressure is deactivated to protect engine

 

Based on the above, I would replace the exhaust vanos solenoid. It’s failure will affect cold start.

 

Thanks for the heads up, is the exhaust one accessible without removing the turbo piping? The guide I see online is for an n16 engine

 

I hadn't removed the piping when I swapped mine out. It's on the front of the engine, next to the dipstick. Disconnect the electrical connector, remove the retaining screw, and pull it out. Install in the reverse.

 

perfect, i'll order a new one right now

thanks bud
