            I purchased a 2006 BMW x3 in May 2025 with 126K miles. In November, the SES light came on with code P0172, running rich. My scanner note that the MAF was reading 26 g/sec. When I examined the past owner's records, I noted that a Blue Streak MAF was installed at 110,000 miles in 2020. It was a Chinese made sensor and only lasted 18,000 miles. It is my understanding that this new sensor made by VDO is the sensor made for BMW. The box my sensor came in is a Continental box (VDO is not displayed anywhere on the box), but I understand that Continental purchased VDO. The sensor works fine. EEuroparts had a good price for this Continental (VDO) MAF sensor. Shipping time was good.
