"Sputter" then SES light
I was driving through Atlanta yesterday and all of the sudden the car "sputters" or to better describe it, produces a faint hiccup and the Service engine soon (Yellow not red) light pops up. There is no decrease in performance and the car seems to run fine but does have a slightly higher idle. I don't have any performance mods installed currently and I always fill up with BP 93 so I don't think its a gas issue. Anyone have a similar issue before I pay to have the code read?

So, since I've had time to dig at this issue now, I ended up buying the torque app for my android smart phone and a bluetooth OBDII reader. The app says the code is "p0015 powertrain "b" camshaft position- timing over-retarded (bank 1)" after researching a little bit, it seems the Exhaust cam sensor may be bad or the VANOS sensor in other words... Has anyone had this problem before????? I really don't like taking my car to BMW because they charge $100+ just to check codes.

I was just wondering if you had the issue resolved? If so, what did you do?
The same happened to me except I get a minor ticking sound from the engine at lower rpm.

The Vanos sensors can and do go bad. Many have replaced them before. I would replace both sides(intake and exhaust). The sensors are under $100 each.
