I know iv asked some guys before but air flow sensors and O2 sensors, are the pirates any good? Im asking again just in case some guys bought a bad pirate. So anyone who have used them pls let me know, the original part is insanely expensive!

i would only use parts made by the oem manufacturer these are important for making your engine run well... should be way cheaper if you can get the part from Bosch rather than BMW...
 
I have used the coolant temp sensor from GW it was great. But the crank sensor from GW didn't work on my car, my car uses Siemens sensors and they are only available at the stealers.

GW stock good quality replacement parts.

+1, there is nothing wrong with parts from Goldwagen. Good quality. :thumb:

has anyone used these parts in particular form them?

My E46 325i MAF, I got it from them almost 18 month ago already, can't remember the price. :thinking:

Also Stig46t on the forum bought 2xMAF's for his E39 M5. This was almost 8 months ago, and also, no issues so far.

PS: His was actually for the Golf 4, but they work on the M5. :dunno:

I installed a GW supplied MAF (Febi) into a friends e46 318i a few months ago, and the car is still very happy. (The owner too).

FYI, there's a difference between poor quality/pirate parts, and good/oem quality replacement parts
