There is much debate about the proper cleaning solution to use on MAFs. Some say that SimpleGreen is too agressive. The current consensus (as debated online) suggest the use of a high quality Electronics Contact Cleaner (only buy the good stuff that doesn't leave ANY residue). The use of improperly oiled K&N air filters has been linked to premature MAF failure. Excessive oil on the filters will lead to MAF contamination.	Beware: MAFs are VERY sensitive electronics. Following these procedures might, or might not, work for your car. Some people say it works fine for a short while and then they get another Check Engine light. This is not a cure-all. It is just an procedure that is significantly cheaper than replacing them. Try it. If it works, you could save a few hundred bucks. If not, you haven't lost anything. If you own a BMW, and need new MAFs, you should do some research online. Apparently VW sells the same Bosch part for much, much less than BMW.	I don't claim to be an expert. Do this at your own risk. Do some research. I posted this for my M5 buddies. And now, several hundred of you a day come to my little site in search of knowledge. Thanks. I hope it works.

Starting on the first of 2 Air Cleaners & MAFs	Cleaning Tools - Choose your cleaning solutions carefully. Electronic Contact Cleaners, "MAF Cleaners", 99% Isopropyl Alcohol, and maybe Simple Green.	Torx T20 Security - I needed a 6-point security Torx (available at most Auto Parts stores). Later cars used a 5-point security Torx. (much harder to find)
Loosen pipe clamp	Unplug the wiring harness	Pop off the 4 clips from the air cleaner
Lift the Air Cleaner Slide it and MAF towards outside of car	Pop off these 2 clips (one underneath)	Unscrew with T20 Security Torx (5 or 6 point, whichever you need). In a pinch you can use needle-nose pliers... very carefully.
Dip this end in Simple Green 1:1 solution. Or spray liberally with electronics Contact Cleaner.	Clean GENTLY with q-tips. Very gently. As if the health of your entire car depended on your gentle touch.	Shake off and dip into 99% alchohol. Don't use 70% alcohol. You want the pure stuff.
Dip mesh end in Simple Green and then Alcohol. Or use Contact Cleaner & then Alcohol.	Screw clean sensor back into tube.	Clean these gaskets, then lubricate lightly with Vaseline. (this applies to this BMW, I have no knowledge of what your particular car might need for lubrication.
Clean tube and Replace flat gasket here	Clean and Replace round gasket here	Reassemble, clip in, point plug towards rear
Slide in the tube first, then...	...drop in air cleaner	Tighten pipe clamp and fasten clips. Done.
