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?  |
Well, not sure if your limp wristed or not.... "Not that there's anything WRONG with that! - Jerry Sienfeld.
I remember seeing MAF sensors from China when I had two E39's. Sold through an American brand name, but obviously made in China. I also remember Chinese made counterfeit MANN-Hummel oil filters finding their way into MANN packaging and ending up in Autozone, Advanced Auto, etc....
I'd like to know where the Chinese are getting the electronics, or did they just dismantle an OE one, study it, and copy it?
