Can you post a link to the $20 MAF that you bought?

I'm wanting to test with another MAF because my Siemens MAF may be under-reporting and causing the lean codes I've been fighting for 6 months.

Since the $20 MAF works for your X5, perhaps the same manufacturer has a MAF that'll work on my M54.

I'd hate to spend $$$$ for another "OE,OEM, or Genuine BMW" MAF sensor, just to find out that my current (cleaned) sensor is working as well as the replacement; if as you say the $20 unit is good enough to keep using, then it just makes more sense to test with it, and
  • 1) if it is better than the original, it solves my problem,or
  • 2) gives the same readings, then it becomes a reliable spare, or
  • 3) proves worse than my original, then I'm only out $20
