Great...what's that cost? Let me guess...on backorder from Germany or special order, right?

My mechanic just told me he replaced the MAF this morning, fired right up. He let it run for a little bit, then test drove it, engine service light blinked while driving and died in 3 miles from the shop. Will start but not turn over?

No Charge....MAF was replaced in Aug 07

But my dealer (Wagner BMW) was a little confused about the DINAN MAF Housing until I pointed out that the actual sensor was still the factory one they replaced last year but in a different housing....BTW...My BMW dealer is awesome, they are just not an authorized DINAN dealer

I had a similar issue with my 4.4 last summer. CPS. Bought the part, changed it out myself. 10 Minutes, in and out.

Just for clarification: I ended up doing the Intake side CPS only, so I can't speak to the difficulty of doing the Exhaust side.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the replies.
It was the MAF, as soon as the sensor was unplugged it held its idle fine. (I didnt drive it though)
A new MAF is 600 CND and its in stock.
Thanks again everybody.
