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 1/3 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.

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.

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. -
