The BMW P13B6 fault code is associated with a malfunction of the crankshaft position sensor. The error is read when the on-board diagnostics returns rotational speed data that falls outside the crankshaft's acceptable paRameters. The ECU relies on the crankshaft position sensor to monitor the crank's motion. When this error code is thrown, it usually indicates the sensor needs replaced, or the sensor's wiring, connectors or harness is faulty. The code may be accompanied by a "check engine" light. If the CKS has failed, You will experience intermittent stalling, difficulty starting, uneven acceleration, mIS Firing and engine vibrations. Replacement of the CKS in a BMW is priced between $270-$350 in parts and labor.

Code P13B6 in a BMW means that there's a problem with the camshaft position sensor.
Have changed both the camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor, assuming I get to replace the cam variable timing gears again. Just did them in August 2021, what a c**p setup.
