I clicked your cam sensor attachment and lead me to ebay and I think that sensor is for motorcycle.

If the key matches the EWS unit it allows the contactor inside the EWS to energize allowing the starter to spin. At the same time the EWS sends a code to the DME allowing it to function. If the code doesn't match then the DME will not funtion.
This pdf explains how the EWS functions http://www.e38.org/EWS.pdf
Mine turned out to be an EWS III D

Thanks Monko141.
I saw the radio system tied into the EWS, I am wondering if the radio code (missing code) makes the car will not start or shut off the DME to communicate with the car not to allowing to start?

No, shouldn't

So you replaced both the Cam Sensor and the Camshaft Sensor. Now, where is the Camshaft Sensor located at? The photo that you previously attached is that the Cam Sensor?

[BMW_Hatchback]

Yes, yes, and yes.

I haven't confirmed if the cam sensor i was given is the right year for the M44

[alika808]

I am trying to locate the Camshaft Sensor and my reference telling me it's in the RH front of the engine behind the radiator but the parts drawing location is located below the manifold.

[alika808]

Finally, I found the location of the Camshaft Sensor, located at left rear engine, next to the flywheel, I replaced it (pain in the butt to remove the allen bolt), also the the Cam Sensor, the DME/EWS with key chip but still there's no spark at the plugs. By the way, there's a 12VDC input at the coil pack when turn-on the ignition switch to start. Hey guys, how odd that the coil pack going back all at one time? Right now, that's my only option I am heading. I appreciate all the comments. Thank you.

Camshaft is in front, crankshaft is in back near flywheel
