BMW 325i Camshaft Position Sensor

The BMW 325i Camshaft Position Sensor is responsible for keeping the engine running smoothly by letting the computer know exactly where and how fast the camshaft is revolving. Mounted above the camshaft, behind the cylinder head, or near the block depending on model year, this Camshaft Position Sensor sends real-time signals to the engine control module, which adjusts fuel injector firing in the right order and timing. This operates to stop stalls before they start. Every BMW 325i depends on the paired data from its crank sensor and Camshaft Position Sensor to get the pistons and valves into line upon startup to ensure variable valve timing and RPM readings remain precise. Inside each 325i engine bay, the Camshaft Position Sensor remains small and critical. While the basic magnetic pickup design is the same, over the generations, placement is the key difference between generations, enabling BMW to place the sensor within changing engine layouts without changing its job. Because a failing Camshaft Position Sensor can be responsible for rough idle, misfires, or a no-start situation, maintaining the BMW 325i unit is an absolute necessity for confident driving on a daily basis or on longer trips.

In front of their respective camshaft ends, you will find that a CMP sensor is placed on each side of the cylinder head. Ensure that ignition has been turned off. Press together locking lugs and pull off sensor wiring plug. At this point, depress clip and separate connector for electrical power to CMP sensor. To remove Sensor loosen bolt retaining it in place. Find seal and recover it by removing screwdriver from its location at the end of fixing bolt connections where it attaches itself onto sealing surface (when required). Replace seal if necessary or damaged. It's just like putting back old things in place after getting out new ones for an exchange before putting them back again.
