Hi all!
I'd like to start off by saying that English is not my native language.

I recently bought my first Bmw, it's an e90 325i 2007 with 22k km on the clock which I'm going to daily.
Picked it up for a bargain and I guess that's why I have problems now .

The car has been running great, good idle, shifting smooth and all that.
However two days ago I went through a roundabout in a spirited driving kind of way and after that the check engine light came on.
The car was still running like before, idle was the same, power delivery etc etc.

Yesterday when I started the car the check engine light was gone and I drove it hard but the check engine light never appeared again.

But I decided to check the codes anyways, my scanner found the following codes : 2AAB, 2A87, 2A98.
I cleared them but I have not started the car since, it's in the garage right now waiting for oil delivery.

I have not driven any other Bmws so I can't really know how they're supposed to feel during acceleration but compared to example saab 9-5 2.0t with a stage 1 the bmw feels kind of slow.

I googled the codes and I found a couple of things, some people talking about the oil filter housing cap being broken, others saying vanos solenoids and some say ledge wear..

I've ordered oil (5w30), filter (mahle) and a new oil filter housing cap.
Should I order new solenoids as well or is it most likely ledge wear?

Or is there anything else that I should look into?

Thanks in advance!

Check into your vanos check valves. if previous owner didnt do oil changes frequently enough, the valves could be clogged
