HI all,
I am looking to buy camshaft position sensors to my Zed 3.0 2003. ( Part nr: 12147518628 and 12147539165) and I would like to have geniuine BMW parts, since I had changed them recently to SWAG and FEBI, but the engines starts roughly (especially when its already warmed up) and it feels luggish, accelerates poorly. So I'd like to buy (internationally, i am seated in Hungary), but dont know which brand should I aim for, and geniune bmw parts are not easy to find,
Could you give me some help?
Thanks,
Incubus

Although non oem sensors may not be renowned for lasting very long your symptoms sound like vanos seals. Have a look at these threads also. I did look at Eurocarparts here and they show a HAAS sensor for your car but no other alternative. I dont know if this is OEM. They do ship though.

Hi Trav,
Thanks, Vanos seals are done recently, couldn't be a problem now. The rough start I mentioned came right after i started to use aftermarket sensors instead of the original ones, the ignition is taking about 3-4 secs when the engine is warm (battery is new also), and after that i can feel that the car runs differently

The ebay folk from Latvia ship stuff generally in any case but they are not cheap. You need to check part numbers directly with them though.
