2012 x5 e70 cam position sensor location

[xchen]

I have a picture of the diagnostic code read print out from my local AutoZone store. I have not found a way to upload the picture here or attach it. (The Attachments button does upload it for some reason after I selected the file and clicked on the Upload.)

The diagnostic code is P0012 and the text is:

Definition
"A"camshaft position - timing over-retarded bank 1

Explanation
Camshaft actuator failure

Probable cause
1. - Mechanical timing condition
