530D 2002 3.0 Location of camshaft position sensor - Charlie73
Can anybody explain to me where the camshaft position sensor is located on my BMW 530d Sport touring?

I need to replace it but cant find any info about its location.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
The camshaft position sensor on most of the straight sixes is one side or other of the head,at the same level as the camshaft(the top of the head!).From memory,I think it is on the the inlet side of the head,but I can't be certain.
Hope this is helpful.
