There are 2 cam shaft sensors and the code refers to sensor A bank 1
check wiring and connections as well
SOURCE: I have a 2000 323i. We have error code P1520.
i would not try the crank sensor just yet first off they **** to replace properly and you wont want to do that just yet, make sure it is the same code that has come back on as far as the banks are concerned on that enging the m52 the front 3 cly are bank 1 and the back 3 are bank 2, so unless it is talking about O2 sensors that is irrelivant, are you sure you replaced the correct sensor? it is the on in front on the engine with NO wire tail on it make sure it is plugged in correctly, this car is VERY good at knowing the difference between a cam sensor and a crank sensor the other guy does not know what he is talking about

your code reader cannot read this fault ,manufacturers only pins are used in the OBDII connector and they are copyrighted so snap on and autozone havent got the equipment to test them .Dealer only,your lucky because in europe its only cars from 2005 that have OBDII connectors and evan then the software is encrypted to stop yours truely ,and where does one get an OBDII cable with all 17 pins connected ?? answer you cant because their copyrighted to each manufacturer

It is possible that the camshaft sensor is intermittently failing. But also check the actual wire connector to the sensor. If the connector is making contact at times, then your computer would read it at times.
