Hi, Everybody. My English skill is bad, But I need you guys help.

I have 2011 528i with N52B30A engine. and mileage is 131,000km(82,000miles)
Recently, RPM drops to around 500 when I shift gear from D to R. And Gauge cluster LCD and DRL will black out, also audio turns off briefly.

And I have a strange error code related VANOS and ICM.
The code is 130308 : VANOS, OUTLET: CONTROL ERROR, POSITION NOT REACHED
480007 : KL30 OVERVOLTAGE

What could be causing this problem?
Thanks!

Start with the cheapest possibility. BMW's (as well as most modern, electronically-heavy laden cars) are VERY sensitive to electrical load. That said...

How old is the battery? What is its condition? If the battery was replaced, was it registered?

How's the trans fluid level? Does the rpm drop going from park to drive or reverse also? Was the trans fluid ever changed?

Hi, Thank you for your reply.
I've changed Battery last year, and drived almost 10,000km (6,000miles) after replaced it.
And trans fluid has been changed at 70,000km (44,000miles)

Also, I've replaced rebuilt alternator recently. but no changes.

Edit : There's no error on gauge or display. there's only two error codes at BimmerLink tester.

Vanos ソレノイドを交換したことがありますか?

Hi, I appreciate for your translation!
I've never changed VANOS solenoid.

So, I'm going to replace solenoid by watching instruction video ASAP.
But I'm wondering if replacing the solenoid will make a dramatic difference.

My mechanic replaced it with a rebuilt alternator, but I'm not sure earth strap is secured or not

該当する場合はオルタネーターの接続も含め、すべての電気接続とアース接続を確認してください 。

As mentioned before remove vanos observe surface conditions, clean and install. If that helps drive till next time you get error code then replace with genuine part.

All BMW's are highly dependent to GROUND connections.

I never replace original alternator or starter with rebuild ones. I take original one to shop and have them rebuild. Rebuild ones especially bosch alternators are good for a year or two and then back to sq. one.

I had that experience with many an Auto Zone/Pep Boys/O'Reilly's rebuilt alternators. Fortunately, changing the alternator was about an easy 30-minute job.

My money is on the ground connections and or Rebuilt Alternator, with your electrical and gauge cluster flickering like that it could be one or the other, or both.
