Hi,
That is a BMW code. It is the same as a P0340 which indicates either the cam sensor is not synchronized with the crankshaft sensor or it isn't sending a signal. See pic 1.
Have you replaced the sensor? If not, the first thing I would do is simply inspect it and the connector to it. Make sure nothing is loose, damaged or corroded. I will supply the directions for replacement so you can see location.

Let me know if this helps. Keep in mind, this could even be related to a stretched timing chain.
I hope this helps.
Take care,
