I have a 2002 540i showing a code for a bad Cam Position Sensor in Bank 2. How many cam sensors do the V8s have...?
I believe your year should have 1 per bank. Here is a DIY replacement guide: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=886595
Epilogue: Cam Position Sensor Thanks for the response, ND4SPDLSC, as it turned out I did have a cam sensor on each bank. Only I let the local dealer convince me otherwise and just bought the one on the passenger side as shown in the link you gave me. But after I changed it out, I compared the sensor and its part number to a similar one I found on the driver's side. Exactly the same match, so I called the dealer back and he admitted to making the mistake of not noticing that in the schematic. So I made the hour long round trip back to the dealer to pick it up and he gave me a discount (on top of the BMWCCA discount) on the 2nd one, more than enought to pay for my gas. Check engine light has gone out...I'm happy. THANKS AGAIN!
Shawn, I'm glad that generally worked out for you! Thanks for letting us know how it turned out and nice job! -Nick
