Not exactly easy...more visible yes, but easy no. After lifting off the engine covers, the sensors are located near the firewall. Tough to get a socket wrench back there. Ended up using a short stem 1/4" drive socket wrench. Hold onto this wrench tightly!
Also, while BMW specifies 4 of the same sensors (plug in connector style) for both intake and exhaust cylinder sides, my 2004 4.4i had different (corded style) sensors for intakes. To top it off, the 5mm hex screws that are supposed to hold in the sensors turned out to be E6 or E7 external torx socket screws. I ended up dropping the E6 socket into the engine bay, but the E7 ended up working and later I was able to find the one I dropped.
I hope this helps someone because I couldn't find a single bit of info for camshaft position sensor replacement for N62 engines on the intertubes.
