liyi_92 37 Report post Posted October 16, 2012 Hi there, on our E39s (M62 engine), do we have 1 more 2 cam sensors? I know one is located under the MAF beside the dipstick. If there is two is the other one at the same position on the other side? Also how much force do we need to use to take it out? Tried pretty hard and won't budge. Also not keen on breaking something =/ I was following DIY here: Camshaft Position Sensor DIY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Specifically, any 540i with a production date before 09/1998 will have only one CPS. 540is from 09/1998+ have two CPSs. So, it depends on your car's production date. You can see where the CPS (#12) seats in the upper timing cover. The diagram doesn't show the second CPS, but you can see where it goes on the other side of the timing case (#2 is pointing almost exactly at that point).
