Either way, yes camshaft sensor sounds like something that can make the engine shake, acceleration sensor sounds right too, since you said the X doesn't accelerate properly. Have you done water pump, thermostat, belts, hoses, new plugs, etc.... on this X yet? Maybe your coils are are going bad since you have misfire at 1,6,8.... Sounds to me that your going to have to dish some money out here and get this baby fixed. Or, it will give you more problems and maybe stop running. Good Luck
Thank you for taking the time to answer. I've done waterpump last year,it failed at 138.000km(now it has 163.000km).Belts,air filter as well.Spark plugs a week ago.
The BMW service in Romania is really c*ap,not going to them ever again..It took them 2 months to change the waterpump last year!!!I'm using experienced third party mechanics...not many options in this damn country.
I haven't change the thermostat yet -isn't the engine supposed to run hot if the thermostat fails? The engine temp in normal at all times.
Should I go for camshaft sensor+acceleration sensor changing before or after the coils?
