I'm having a problem with my 96 m3.

Sporadically in 1st gear, ill have very little power below 5000 rpm's. And sometimes it occurs in second gear for about a second as well. I have a new clutch so I know the clutch isn't slipping.


I took it to AutoZone to have them pull the codes for the check engine light, and they couldn’t do it. I was informed by someone at redline BMW in pompano that it could be fixed by replacing the intake camshaft positioning sensor. so I replaced that and got back 95% of my power, and cleared the check engine light, however I still cant spin my tires anymore, and my gas mileage is being somewhat affected.

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing my problem?

Thanks in advance.
