Shouldn't be too interesting. I'm just copying Seth and a few others. Should be loud, so not sold on it until I hear it.

I just heard over the radio that there is now a total Airbags recall for all 3 Series from 2000 - 2006. It is now official.

The price of a Genuine BMW MAF varies a LOT. Some dealers (like my local one) wants $560 for one, while others (such as the one I actually bought it from) were far less. I bought it for about $390 after tax locally at another dealer, and the price would be about the same if you ordered it online if you calculate in shipping. Definitely get a Genuine BMW one. The cheapest I found it online for is about $350ish plus shipping.
MAFs are a wear and tear item; I wouldn't consider them a "replace when you get a code" type of thing. You may not get codes for them at high mileage, but your performance and economy will suffer. In my case, I had a NASTY vibration between 3-4k if I accelerated hard in first or second. Also, my acceleration was a bit jerky below 2k if I was easy on the throttle. A new MAF fixed the vibration issue altogether and it performs better, smoother now. As far as the jerkiness goes... it went away briefly after replacing the MAF, clearing the code, and resetting the adaptations, but now it's back ever so slightly. I do not have any codes yet, but I only replaced the MAF two days ago.
Thanks BP.
