Did you find the broken piece? If you did you dodged a bullet. Plenty of horror stories of that broken tab getting caught in the timing chain casuing teeth jumping leading to catasptrophic engine damage. Also try the Besian oil pump disc. Good time to replace those Vanos bolts with upgraded ones from BMW.

I'm sure this makes me Captain Obvious's twin brother, but when I had my e46 M3, I spent a lot of time on this site, planning for the day when I would have to tackle this. I got out of the car before it needed any VANOS work. You seem beyond "well on your way" though.

I guess I'm glad I don't have VANOS.
