Yes the N62TU is a vanos-equipped motor. Never has a word struck such fear into the potential BMW owner! However the design is apparently much less problematic than that used on the in-line 6 motors.
The error codes all related to vanos/timing which could have been caused by bad tensioners.
Thanks for the advice all!

Based upon my experience that statement needs qualifying very heavily.
Is this era of motor one with Vanos? My (imperfect, skin deep) understanding is that it can be expensive if it starts to go wrong.
However, these are so rare I’d probably buy it and then deal with whatever the issue is. I doubt you’d ever find another.
