M5 Airfilters - MAF Sensor Clogging??
Discussion
Hi
I'm tempted to drop higher flow air filters in to my E39 M5 but have one minor concern -
will the oil present in K&N/Pipercross type panels eventually contaminate and clog the sensor on the MAFS?
Has anyone done any mileage on aftermarket filters on an E39 M5 that can vouch for the continued condition of their MAFS?? (mine were replaced about 5k ago)
Cheers

I used to have the Active Autowerk CAI fitted to my previos e39 M5 which includes K&N Panel Filters, never had any problems.
Before fitting the pre-oiled Filters I would advise you wrap and lay them in newspaper/blotting paper overnight to take away any excess oil which may be apparent, other than that I would certainly recommend them.

Thanks C - you are helpful as ever!! (bm5w )
I've ordered 'dry' pipercross and will give them just a light 'dusting' of oil

Any time.
Any news on whats happened to BM3W/BM5W as i've not been able to access the site recently, and wondered if it has unfortunately folded.

Last I saw was a message saying it was going to be off-line but that this would hopefully only be temporary and that a link page would be set up to direct people to a new address at some point?
Just a relocation of the Server, there will also be a hic-up towards the end of the month, other than this all seems fine.
Let us know your findings on the Air-Filter swap.
