Car won't start

I drove my car home from work and it was fine but when I started the car in the morning it wouldn't start! I put it on a diagnostic tester and it came up with cam, crank and exhaust sensor codes. I changed all 3 sensors and reset codes, the car started then died shortly after and wouldn't start again. I put it back on the diagnostic tester and it came back with the same 3 codes! Has any body got any idea of what I can do?

It's a 2003 318 coupe
The sensors are aftermarket ones from euro car parts and yeah the codes got cleared but come back when I start it
 
What I've learned is that BMW's don't like the aftermarket sensors especially Crank and Cam sensors. Hope you come right:thumbs:

Do you reckon it would be worth changing them again?

As you say the codes come back, I would return them if you bought them at GW and get a refund and buy OEM at the agents. My experience with the E36 320i it won't accept any after market cam and crank, I guess Siemens wants Siemens sensors (cam and cranks). I'm not sure about your DME whether its Bosch or Siemens, if its Siemens agents NO DOUBT, if its Bosch you can try Bosch agents. This is opinion and experience.
