don't swap, just buy new solenoids and get the vanos recalibrated/re-adapted properly with an ISTA-D diagnostic laptop and see if the VANOS issue comes back.

I do have new ones in but never recalibrated them.. I tried using ista-d but there was no option to reprogram them I heard on other forums it was possible but I couldn’t find the manu option where it was said to be. Maybe all I need is vanos recalibration? I heard from a forum that the s65 vanos solenoid doesn’t need to be calibrated only on s85
