Source for a replacement MAF?
My 2000 4.4 appears to have a MAF problem. Is there a recommended and reasonably priced aftermarket source for a MAF replacement?

BMW or off the shelf nuts?
OK, sounds like I should replace the nuts. Is there anything special about the nuts that requires I get 'em from BMW? Or just go to Ace Hdwr, etc, and get the same metric dimensions?
