Camshaft position sensor · genuine BMW, not a copy
01Overview
The genuine BMW camshaft position sensor, part number 12141740959.

It tells the DME where the camshaft is. Without that signal the engine management cannot time sequential injection and ignition to the right cylinder — which is why a failing one shows up as a rough or hesitant running engine and a fault code, not as a clean breakdown.

This is the part BMW themselves supply. It also appears under the number 12141740383.
