Just for my future knowledge as I am pretty ignorant when it comes to these types of things; what is the MAF?

mass air flow sensor which is in the air intake by air filter housing you will see a plug connected to it.

Maybe I'm wrong but if you have that many codes it would be prudent to
get your indy to hook up the computer for a proper readout rather than
guessing then go from there.

^He did have them read, and they are related codes.
IMO, he did the right thing. No need to get a mechanic involved yet.

Sometime having the CEL or SES read by BMW specific software provides a lot more info then just a generic OBD II code reader.

Maybe I missed something but I don't see where he had them read. So my suggestion still stands.
Let's not guess. Once he knows what the problem is and the OP get his finances together he'll know where to begin.

^Thread title states the codes, so I assume he did. Unless he can look at the SES/CEL and tell what codes are showing.

As I understand this all is well?

I seem to 'foul' MAFs fairly often I guess due to my setup. Several times the engine was acting up and I really couldn't tell the MAF needed cleaning but it worked fine after I did. No discoloration, looked shiny, only clue was it looked shinier after the cleaning.
