On N52 engine, Camshaft position sensor is located on the front of the engine. Remove the engine cover for easier access to those camshaft position sensor.

these illustrations and pic may help you ...

part labeled #3 in these diagrams. Camshaft position sensors, as with most of these sensors, held by one bolt and there is an electrical connector going to these sensors.
