Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Do you know the value of resistance of the sensor pulse?
Piece n�12 http://bmwfans.info/original/E30/2-T/318is-M42/ECE/L/M/1990/03/mg-11/ill-11_0156/

Me I measure 568 ohm

568 ohm for sensor pulse and 1568 ohm for sensor camshaft,
It should not have the same measure

?

Thank you

Fabrice

It should be around 550-560 ohms for the crankshaft position sensor which is number 12 in you picture. It sounds like your camshaft and crankshaft position sensors are good .
