MAF clean/replace
Hi:
Check out this site for detailed (and I mean detailed) instructions on cleaning the MAF. http://www.louv.tv/cars/m5/MAF/ He uses an M5 as an example but the previous post shows you exactly where it is on the X5(on the left on the X5, on the right on the M5). I had problems with my MAF and this site really helped. Give cleaning a try first and save some $$$ Good luck

Before going all out on the cleaning, you might want to try an aerosol spray cleaner, thus minimizing the opportunity to break things. The Bavarian Autosport newsletter (http://www.bavauto.com/newsletter/20...ter.pdf#page=1)
has an rticle which may help. You just take off the MAF and spray this stuff in. Maybe you should start with this and move on to more intensive cleaning if it doesn't work. Let us know.

The bad news is they're pricey, the good news is they're easy to fit yourself as you will have discovered from the cleaning. Here is a quote from Pelican Parts http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...Air+Mass+Meter
This is for my 2000 X5. Sorry the cleaning didn't work.

Good point, I imagine you could get just the innards but I never had to go that route; the cleaning worked for me, that and ensuring the whole thing was tightly bolted together.
You might try Vines as they seem to have a good selection of new and used parts. Their website is http://www.vinesauto.com/PartsPage.htm you can also phone them at 1-800-214-4839
