Here's why:
* Multiple Engine Options: The 2012 5-Series came with several different engine options (528i, 535i, 550i, and even a diesel 535d). Each engine could have different camshaft designs.
* Cam Types: Even within a single engine, there are different types of camshafts (e.g., single overhead cam (SOHC), double overhead cam (DOHC), variable valve timing).
To determine the cam type, I need to know:
1. Engine Code: The engine code is usually a 3- or 4-letter code found on the engine block or in your vehicle's documentation.
2. Specific Model: The 528i, 535i, 550i, or 535d model.
Once you provide me with this information, I can help you find the camshaft type for your specific 2012 BMW 5-Series.
