The DISA valve, otherwise known as the "Intake Manifold Adjuster Unit", is located on the side of the intake manifold and is a common failure on the M54 BMW engines. The failure is caused by the type of materials used in the manufacture of two of the three key valve components.
During normal engine operation the bell crank lever and flapper valve vibrate against each other where the hex shaped portions contact each other. These vibrations start a wear process which will cause the tiny glass fibers in the flapper valve to erode away the male hex portion of the weaker bell crank lever. As soon as the erosion starts it's all down hill from there until the hex is completely worn away. The symptoms of a worn DISA valve include rough idle, lean engine codes and lack of low to mid rpm power.
If you disassemble a worn out DISA valve and look at the bell crank lever it's common to not even recognize that it once had a hex shape on the protrusion. Once the hex is shape is worn off the lever, the flapper valve no longer opens and closes in a controlled manner by the rotation of the bell crank lever. The brittle flapper valve becomes free to slap around uncontrolled within the DISA support framework. This uncontrolled movement can lead to complete destruction of the flapper valve. The broken pieces of valve have no where else to go except through the intake manifold runners and through the motor, sometimes resulting in severe engine damage. Even a small piece of plastic broken off the flapper valve can hold an intake valve open, resulting in bent valves or much worse.
Since the only parts on the DISA valve that typically fail are the flapper valve, bell crank lever and housing seal, why replace the entire unit. Replace the failed internal parts with our lifetime warrantied upgraded parts and have a much more reliable DISA for a fraction of the cost.
At German Auto Solutions we thoroughly analyzed the DISA valve and engineered a solution that addresses all the weak points of the original design.

Averted a disaster, 2003 330xi - Monday, November 18, 2024I bought the kit just in case I needed it since I had to remove the DISA as part of a larger repair. I was careful to slowly extract the DISA from the intake manifold and low and behold the pin that's in the end of the flap was already a quarter of the way falling out and there was nothing really holding it in. After taking the DISA apart I found the original plastic actuator the flap mounts to was rounded off, so there was nothing controlling the movement of the flap. The instructions are spot on and included procedures to test the function of the vacuum pot. Do the GAS upgrade now before that pin destroys your engine.

Peace of mind and confidence. - Wednesday, October 9, 2024I purchased two DISA repair and upgrade kits for the OEM BMW DISA (a 2.5L & 3.0L) and found the components to be very well made, precise / exact fit and easy to install. Turns out that my DISA valves were in good condition but I wanted to ensure that I won’t have a future failure and the kit(s) gives you the peace of mind and confidence that these parts can’t fail! Plus, thank you for such great instructions!
Thank you German Auto Solutions -
High quality kit and better engineered than original. - Saturday, October 5, 2024I couldn’t recommend this upgrade more! Not only a better design and higher quality than original, but a fraction of the price of buying oem replacement. Also it is a great peace of mind not having to worry about a pin falling out and destroying your engine.

Repeat happy customer - Thursday, September 12, 2024I bought this same kit 8 1/2 years ago and removed that DISA to swap into my "new" E39 with an utterly failed flap mechanism. It is still tight as a drum. This order was shipped and arrived quickly. I'm confident it will work as well as the first This new kit looks as well made as my first - no "thrifting" with reduced quality.

Quality-Brilliance and a money saver in one Kit! Bravo - Wednesday, September 4, 2024This is as good as on Anything that can save your M54! Well maybe a quart of oil when needed. This repair and a drilled oil pump nut. May save you from walking home some day. Thanks! GAS two thumbs up

Superb Product - Friday, March 22, 2024Order Number: 16215
Original OEM DISA gasket was worn and resulted in a vacuum leak. I was impressed with the GAS repair and upgrade kit as it was well engineered and constructed of superior materials; better than the original design and materials. The instructions were well written and included relevant pictures, and included functional checks of the DISA. Highly recommend. -
A simple, robust solution to protect your engine. 2002 530i - Wednesday, January 31, 2024As a BMW tech who first trained on the M54, I've lost count of the number of DISA valve swaps I've done over the years. Not to mention the number of engines I've had to replace, because it swallowed the broken pin after the valve failed (including my own car). I first encountered the G.A.S. upgrade as I was doing a complete reseal of a customer's intake manifold, when I pulled the valve to swap the O-ring. The minute I laid eyes on this thing, I was sold; quality parts, had been in the car for years, and was still in better-than-new shape. First reseal I ever did without having to replace the valve! One of the other techs recognized it and I was able to find the website and place an order before I even put my customer's valve back in. (Order ID 15996)

Great upgrade. 2005 BMW 330Ci - Monday, November 20, 2023I successfully upgraded my OEM DISA valve with this kit. The only thing I would recommend to upgrade the lever extractor, it is short to pull out the lever out. I had to buy a long screw hook from Walmart, it helped successfully extract the lever.

Excellent quality and instructions, 2005 330i - Tuesday, October 31, 2023So happy with my purchase. The instructions were very detailed and thorough which gave me the confidence to do this job. The quality of materials is excellent as well.

-
Very Pleased with Product and Installation Instructions. - Tuesday, May 9, 2023Ditto: This product is outstanding. The instructions on the website were incredibly detailed, and installation was a breeze. The parts arrived early, were incredibly well made and vastly superior to the stock item, I do not have enough positive things to say about this product or the company who made it, very pleased.

Simple fix - Saturday, February 18, 2023This was a simple overhaul (except for cleaning the old gasket off, that took a while). Instructions online were clear, and everything fit as expected.

2002 330ci - Tuesday, November 29, 2022Quality kit. Was able to rebuild my worn out, original 209k DISA valve back to better than new condition.

Fantastic—2002 330xi - Wednesday, November 2, 2022(Brian Mattson Order No.13983)
I really, really didn’t want to buy a cheap Chinese DISA replacement, but I also find a BMW OEM replacement hard on the budget. So… repair my original with upgraded parts? Yes, please!
What a tremendous service, G.A.S! Instructions were clear and easy, and I had the new and improved DISA installed in half an hour. Couldn’t be more pleased! Many thanks.

Excellent Quality - 2001 BMW X5 - Saturday, May 21, 2022Order ID: 13335
Top Notch attention to detail and quality. An obvious improvement over stock design. My stock valve with 165k miles on it had completely failed. Bell crank was rounded and non-functional, pin in bottom slid right out when I removed the valve... Kit includes name brand thread lock and grease, and all pats necessary for installation. Install guide is straightforward and easy once you have the parts in front of you. -
Love the fact that it's US made! - Sunday, July 14, 2019Kit came the next day, the instructions are great, everything needed for the install was included, E46 runs great now, very happy.
