But the noobies that are coming on this forum are trying to keep their new to them 10-16 years old BMW X5 running and at the cheapest cost. They see a $50 or less MAF on eBay or Amazon versus a $350 Siemens MAF at a reputable BMW reseller or at a Dealer. Guess which one they will be buying? You may consider some of my posts as being negative, but I'm probably one of the few posters that don't view BMW's products through Rose Color glasses.

Why do I own and drive a BMW, I have already posted why I own and drive a BMW.
