Camshaft Position Sensor - M44

[RickyBobby]

Have you tried to reset adaptations before ditching the sensor?
From experience I can say this worked for my after market idle control valve.
had a very low idle at 600rpm and reseting adaptations solved the issue.

Idle was fine at around 1,000rpm but I had reset the code only for it to return with the additional misfiring exhaust gas codes.

clearing the codes, does not reset adaptations. this is a special function that forces the ecu to realign all parameters and read again all values to adjust. If adaptations are not reset, it will probably require a full tank of gas and many miles in constant speed for the ecu to work properly. Or at least that is what the bmw technical information guidance says.
