I would clear it and see if it comes back. If it does, then I will diagnose further.

i did clear it.. some times it takes days to come back and sometimes just hours

[tmv]

I'd replace it at this point.

Did you replace the CPS with OEM units or aftermarket brand?
Aftermarket brands tend to fail early. Also, check the connections and the physical condition of the CPS and wires. They could be kinked or damaged and sending a faulty signal.?? Just thinking out loud type of thing.

Good Luck!!

I rec'd having a tech with a quality scan tool and the BMW menu, diagnose the add'l possibilities of that code, fwiw.

OEM is not OE. OE is BMW. OEM is possibly garbage, especially electronics.
