Help Finding New MAF and Rest Of Sensors for E36 (Non Genuine Quality Parts)

[Klunk]

Hey all.. New to the forum and to Buying and Driving a BMW..raise: Love it so much I bought 2 and planning on creating a 600hp+ Drifting Monster but I found out Fixing them and finding decent priced parts to be a Mission :smashScreen:

I need to find out where I can buy myself a New MAF and while I'm at it, all the sensors for my

93 E36 OBD1 325is Coupe "All Bosch Parts"
97 E36 OBD2 328 4 Door "All Siemens Parts" Hardest to Find

Not interested in Genuine Parts but also don't want Complete Shit knock off parts. Anyone know where I can start looking for these parts? Busy ripping my hair out finding the OBD2 ones! The OBD2 is much easier to get thru most spares dealers but not one can even order me a MAF for the OBD2 :RedNo:

!!!!!Help needed!!!!!

Siemens sold VDO to continental so you're looking for something that doesn't exist anymore.

Contact diesel electric for bosch mafs and other bosch parts.

But there has to be a someone who makes "Siemens Spec" parts still.. I know the voltage and plugs of the 2 makes of MAF's is different so the Bosch part isn't gonna work even if rewired.
Read that if u use anything running on different volt readings u have to mod the ECU. Someone got to stock OBD2 parts which was all Siemens. Suggestions anyone?

Yes I said Siemens sold VDO to continental. So you're looking for a continental MAF.

So what I'm looking for does exist but just under a new brand/manufacturer, in this case Continental... Glad that's cleared up, lol..

So where can I find the Continental parts? Because I swear the normal spares shops don't know anything about this. None of them stock the OBD2 MAF for E3, not even Mr turbo in JetPark can help me locate one but they have all the OBD1 parts in stock..

Someone's gotta make these cheaper, Non Genuine parts because I can find every OBD1 & OBD2 part online thru reputational online stores but it's pricey due to the extra costs of shipping and the tax u gotta pay when receiving it..

So has anyone on this forum bought a MAF for their 96 and up OBD2 motor? If so, Pls let me know where u found it and how much...

Can I pls ask u just 3 Questions in regard to the import?
