See above thread

Pierburgs are a waste of time too, even with a Synergy no matter what the setting it still won't match the correct fuelling across the rev range

Wait until they have a 37% off on here. It comes from Germany so might take a week or two.

Only Bosch MAFs are worth fitting.

What Russ and Jamie say is correct a non Bosch MAF is a complete waste of time and money

It really is a case of buy cheap, buy twice in this case.

Out of interest, can the actual sensor be swapped out or do they have to come as a complete unit? If they can then whole BOSCH units for the BMW can be got for under 30 quid, swap out the sensors and save around 100 quid?

Yes the sensor can be removed from the housing, you will need a security torx in order to do it. Halfords have a decent set for £20 in their Advanced range.

No they can't be got for £30 I'm afraid, Bosch never sold the correct insert seperately

If it was possible to do that everyone would be buying them instead.
