Just got this code this morning in my 1999 bmw 528i.
What should I do? Any quick easy DIY solutions?

Learn to google. How fucking hard is that. You will get better answers than you would here.
That is a BMW specific code, that means it has a specific reason behind that code. It wont mean the same thing as on a Honda. You need to find a BMW forum with people who work on BMW's that have dealt with the code before. Read, research and try solutions you find. If you can't figure out how to do that take it to a shop or drive it off of a bridge.

Vanos

Venos was replaced when we got the car 3 years ago

Not bad, the rebuild lasted 3 years

All you can really do with VANOS is replaces seals and other parts.

Sounds like your camshaft position is tight, or maybe even jammed. Take your car to BMW and have $12 in cash ready.
