good to hear!
I have to do both of mine...i hope to get it done in one day.
Just wondering, did you change the spark plug tubes or the seal for the servo motor?

Havent done them yet. I have to order the parts. Where is the sensor? Are you talking about the actual servo motor? Or the cam sensor itself? Are there any other seals you needed to do the job?

That should be all.
This is the sensor I am talking about. It is in the back at the firewall. You will find 3 sensors there (on each side -> from the top)

1. Eccentric shaft sensor (there is brown\gold gasket around it)
2. Camshaft intake
3. Camshaft exhaust

This just reinforces my thought that you never own a BMW out of warranty! 
Let the dealer futz around under there!
