Perhaps he'll tell me where I could get one from the same source he did, so it won't be a crapshoot getting a decent one (for cheap), to compare to my "already cleaned" OEM MAF.
My X5 didn't have the SES light on. I wanted a spare since it's a known problem. If it fails, I have the OEM one with 143k miles ready to install. I keep it in a zip lock bag. In 8000+ miles, the SES has not turned on once for errors.

Replacement MAF sensor. Due to inflation, it's $22!
