The code was most likely (camshaft adjustment b1 or b2 incorrect) In other words the camshaft adjusters have failed due to metal debris in engine clogging the eraser head sized screen that filters stuff getting into the actuator.
Long story short its a w8 and it needs an engine. Very common, very expensive. The replacement engines are 16,000$ (yes sixteen thousand) plus labor and associated fluids and such to replace.
heres a quick link for you to read about the w8! enjoy your new car if you can =)
