'00 BMW E38 2.8 - Loss of power - erm

I have a BMW E38 with the M52 engine (2.8) that has 30K miles on the clock X-reg.
If it starts instantly it will run as it should but if it doesn?t start instantly then
It has a lack of power for the journey. The DME error codes are code 65 inlet cam sensor.
I have changed both the inlet and exhaust sensors re set the DME but the fault returns with the same code 65 and loss of power. I have cleaned the connectors on the sensors and DME checked continuity and checked the supply and GND to the sensors and all seems well. Dose anybody have any suggestions on what to try next or if any other faults could cause the error code of the inlet cam sensor to be stored by the DME.
Could the O2 sensors cause this fault and error code?
