Keep spark and fuel delivery in sync with the Standard Ignition Engine Camshaft Position Sensor / Crankshaft Position Sensor (PC517) — listed under both names, so search either. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1993 BMW 535I, the 1988 BMW 535IS, the 1987-1992 BMW 735I, and the 1988-1992 BMW 735IL, all with the L6-3.5L engine. The sensor reads crankshaft rotational position and speed and reports it to the engine control module, which uses that signal to time fuel injection and ignition.

  • Accurate timing: custom magnetic circuit programming and performance testing calibrate the signal between the target wheel and the sensor output.
  • Thoroughly tested: end-of-line checks for timing, pulse width, and signal amplitude, plus in-lab vibration and extreme-temperature testing.
  • Superior operation: an integrated analog-to-digital converter with adaptive switch points for quick signal processing.
  • BMW-specific build: engineered for BMW vehicles, with a 3-terminal rectangular plug-in connector (male blade terminals, female connector).

If a failed position sensor is behind a hard start, no-start, stalling, or a stored timing-related code, this replaces it. Country of origin: Italy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the PC517 sensor do?

It reads crankshaft rotational position and speed and sends that signal to the engine control module, which uses it to time fuel injection and ignition.

What vehicles does it fit?

It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1993 BMW 535I, 1988 BMW 535IS, 1987-1992 BMW 735I, and 1988-1992 BMW 735IL, all with the L6-3.5L engine.

Why is it listed as both a camshaft and a crankshaft position sensor?

This part is cataloged under both names, so it may appear as an engine camshaft position sensor or a crankshaft position sensor. The MPN PC517 is the same part either way.

What are signs it may need replacing?

Common signs a position sensor may be failing include hard starting or a no-start, stalling, rough running, or a timing-related check engine code. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

What connector does it use?

It has a rectangular plug-in connector with 3 male blade terminals and a female connector housing. Country of origin: Italy.
