This is often the best place to start when looking for problems. If you use the Search facility on here and look for 'camshaft AND sensor' you s...

I did a cruise control on my S54 ///M (also fly by wire) quite easily using a kit form BMW that was actually meant for the 2.5i US version. Take a look at my original thread and also follow the link to bimmerfest. I suspect your 3.0i would be the same. http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t...

We're having thoughts that there's a possibility that the motor is not working properly or the door lock cylinder is defective. Anyway, hoping someone would share a DIY on how t...
