For future reference, it costs less than that from a car parts place.

Ugh! This one's better:-

Its the bit that the air filter directs the air before it reaches the inlet manifold. Goes by several other name too.

An intelligent person should be able to come up with something less hackneyed and shopworn than the above two quotations.

Much better, the first one says "An air flow meter is used in some older cars to measure the quantity of air going to the engine."

I think this is testament that Wikipedia articles are written by numpties.

I should have said MAF or Hot-Film Air Mass Meter -

The theory behind it is that accumulation of "dirt" increases the heat capacity of the sensor and therefore it takes longer to react to change in flow.

Anyway, give it a try and report back...

Or testament that you're too ignorant to know that that's exactly what many older cars have. The E28 uses an AFM (air flow meter).

... and newer BMWs tend to have MAFs.

If you don't know what you're talking about, it's better to remain silent, don't you think?
