Vanos filter is a tiny oil filter which sits at the end of the vanos unit in a pressure valve thingy, it's prone to get clogged which in turn then causes premature wear on the vanos unit itself, as far as I understand it's not a BMW servicable item, it's only changed if you request it.

I change mine every 6-10k as a matter of cause, takes about 10 mins to change it over max.
