Replacing MAF Sensor
I took my X5 to the dealership and they diagnosed that my "Service Engine Soon" light was because of my Mass Airflow Sensor. Well, it's out of warranty already so I decided to order the part through ebay. part came, was exact fit and everything, but SES light is still going off. Now, I have the RC / FCX3 code reader and it'll reset the light, but the light will still go off later on in the day. Now, my question is: Is my light still going off because this wasn't an OEM BMW part? When I use the code reader, it's telling me it's the same thing, the MAF Sensor. Should I just shell out the bucks to purchse an OEM part? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check your CCV and related hoses as those were throwing codes that also said the MAF was bad on my 3.0.
Good Luck!!

I had trouble with an ebay MAF sensor. Buyer beware on those. Mine looked like someone had opened it and tried to refurbish it. It did not work.
I ordered a new Bosch MAF after that and it's worked fine for a couple years now.

Great advice guys, thanks so much for the help!
Now, question is: Where can I get a good MAF Sensor without shelling out some major bucks? Anyone have any good sites?

Ecstuning.com. There a lot more. Make sure you buy OE BMW, not OEM.
