You can go ahead ahd poll everyone... I don't recall anyone replacing cam position sensor... The computer must match both sensors to calculate the ignition... if one or ther other is bad, it will simply register whichever one is out of bound.

CPS has tricky half life problem... it works and it temporarily stop working. Look, if yours is original, you are gonna have to change it sooner or later... I'd rather not be stuck by the side of the road.

Well it did turn out to be the Cam position sensor. Trip to the dealer, and 15 minutes to replace the sensor was all it took. Car has been running great since then. The faulty sensor was plastic, and said "made in Italy" on it. The BMW part was metal and seemed to be a nicer, and a bit more sturdy. Don't know how that part got in the car since the PO took the car to the dealer for everything, but at least the problem is fixed.

Thanks for the help
