New Cars Specification

1. The sensor is located on the left side of the oil filter. Remove the air filter and air filter box.
2. Disconnect the wiring harness to the mass air flow sensor and the air box temperature sensor.
3. Remove the tube that leads to the idle control valve.
4. Unscrew the 6-mm nut with a socket that holds the hose clamp that downstream of the mass airflow sensor. You should now be able to see the camshaft position sensor.
5. Remove the air intake silencer with a 10-mm socket.
6. Using a 5-mm Allen key, remove the nut that holds the camshaft sensor in place. Remove the engine cover and disconnect the sensor electrical connection at the top of the motor. Clearance around the dipstick is tight, but it is possible to remove the connector.
7. Install the new camshaft sensor with an oiled O-ring. Ensure that the sensor seals properly, and then reassemble everything in the order of removal.

1. Pop the hood of your 740i and locate the rear exhaust manifold (found on the rear of the engine). The oxygen sensor will be sticking off of the back of the manifold with a wire running to it.
2. Disconnect the wiring harness and use the oxygen sensor wrench to unscrew the sensor and remove it. Screw the new oxygen sensor into place.
3. Reconnect the wiring harness to the oxygen sensor and then close the hood. Turn the car on and allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature. Check to make sure the car is running smoothly and then take it for a test drive.
