Grey rows are shown for context and left out of the range. Years are approximate (date of the post). The range is the middle half of full-job USD prices for each shop type, published once there are at least 3; labor-only, customer-supplied-parts, warranty cost-share and bundled jobs are listed but left out.

Symptoms

  • Loss of mid-range power and a flat spot around 3,000–4,500 rpm
  • Rattle from the intake manifold at idle
  • Lean or intake-related fault codes
  • A loose or broken flap inside the valve, which can be pulled into the engine

Which cars are affected

2001–2006 E46 325i/325xi/325Ci/330i/330xi/330Ci (M54). The M52TU 323i/328i also has a DISA valve.

E46 3 Series 1999–2006

The DISA valve bolts to the intake manifold and is usually a quick job. Rebuild kits for the flap are sold as an alternative to a new valve. The only shop prices we found are in Australian dollars, so no US range is shown.
