Yes, the solenoid is $128...USD. Add shipping and conversion, that's $220 CAD. You could get it cheaper at a dealer here if you apply club discounts or know somebody.
I quoted ECS because myself and many other Bimmer owners in my area can easily access delivery PO boxes in the states, and regularly buy BMW parts down south, with Washington state being so close. That would work out to about $165 CAD per solenoid, taxes in. If I had to get Vanos solenoids replaced, I'd still pay an extra $100 per for new ones and peace of mind over used ones that I have no idea how much life is left in them.
