Default M5 MAF's

Few owners on here so thought I'd ask

Anywhere these can be bought for half sensible money?

Yeah the inserts right?
Doesn't say they're Bosch, but all Bosch units are subject to surcharge, so must be.
Thank you

Yep it was just the inserts, no housing. The surcharge was refunded very soon after i'd sent the old ones back to them so it was all good. They were definitely Bosch parts too.

Not quite, possibly after being stung with import tax etc you have
Too early for a card, be patient

Ern - Just read 17 page debate on them, is far from conclusive of their success IMO, although you can't doubt they fit and work, I think the flows are a little different - within error margins most likely however.

Justin yeah Im led to believe they read slightly different too but work. Keep putting off buying some cos I dont wanna get them and they be shit. Was hoping to find someone who's used them and can convince me they work properly.

I read somewhere a Land Rover unit fits and works too, not sure on part number.

Think the link with them for Ł70 a piece sounds good to me though

Link lists Land Rover along with loads of others, and we know someone who has used these linked one's now

Yeah looks like they work just fine, just the thread I was reading loads had codes flag up afterwards, although none seemed to be later confirmed as to what caused them..
Just looked a touch too risky to me.
