huh. Only on ebay.

Now we have to worry that fly by night 'companies' might counterfeit a BMW box and label- claim it is OE.

Big issue in MAF sensors....crap asian sensors, non-linear outputs, etc,etc...but come in a proper BMW or Bosch box. Even 'name brand' BMW parts vendors have been fooled.

Im guessing any defects in the BMW part have been faithfully copied by the chinese...although Ive put ~150k on two different X5s, havent broken one yet.

Limp wrist perhaps?
