Anti-rattle solution. Felt tape cut into appropriate shapes.

Next step is to examine the intake boots. The codes didn't say lean or rich, just "Luftpfad" in the error read out, which means airflow auf Englisch. Included with that one were multiple cylinder misfires.
Any thoughts on this one?? I will try to get the actual code numbers when this storm passes.
I finally picked up the fender roller after I figured out how to get it running. So I will be doing that tomorrow after I replace the spark plugs and get the intake track cleaned and repaired. I have spare intake boots from the failed MS43 conversion on the 328i.
Just wanted to give you a heads up about the MAF. The MAF on our cars cannot be cleaned. It's a "hot film" type sensor, and must be replaced when it gives issues.
I also unplugged my MAF to try to troubleshoot and found that my car ran like a bat out of hell with it unplugged. Ultimately I ended up replacing it yesterday and cleared the adaptations. Runs buttery smooth now.
When the MAF was bad, I had jerky acceleration below 2k and had one hell if a nasty vibration around 3-4k under hard acceleration in first gear. The new MAF fixed all of that, despite not always having a MAF code. (Had it at one point, cleared the codes, and the MAF code didn't come back but the lean codes did).
The MAF could still very well be an issue even if you don't have codes for it.

Why can a hot film type sensor NOT be cleaned?
The friendliest forum on the planet.
Great insight, BP. I have been experiencing a nasty power dip at 2000 rpm. I will be doing all the regular maintenance tomorrow.
Plugs, replacing the boots and intake cleaning. I will attempt to clean the MAF again despite your warnings in hopes of not having to buy a new one...cash is tight for stupid failures.
