I'm not up on the compatability but... "carsalesunlimited" on Ebay has a '95 M3 maf for $50 and Justin is a pretty straight-shooter

i have a 318 will it work?

^^^
not so sure on that one.

**xxxbimmer** · 11-21-2005, 11:18 PM

ne one......if not 450 at the dealer just for the part

^^ Are u serious? $450 is insane for that.

is the MAF the same as the HFM? the part that many m3' guys switch to either a 540 or euro m3 piece because it is 3.5" in diameter instead of 3"?

If this is the case, then the answer is no, unless you get custom tuning I believ.

try bimmer forums classifieds, a few people on there have 318's that swapped in an s50 or s52 motor, so they might have that part from their old motor.

i just took it out and cleaned it with electric spray like 5 times and it runs way better guess it was just dirty.........lets hope the problem doesnt come back

Yes, they do the same thing. MAF is "mass airflow sensor" and HFM is "heated film mass sensor".
