E39 - Air Flow Meter for 525 TDS Touring April 1997

Hi, I need to substitute the Air Flow Meter on my car. It's a E39 525
TDS Touring (April 1997).
The current one is a PIERBURG, but iI cannot read its part number. I
would like to avoid to stop the car and keep it blocked until I get the
replacement, as I utilize my car every day. I would prefer to preorder
the part and stop the car just for a few hours.
So I was wondering if someone may tell me the exact code of the
airflow, so that I can buy the replacement and get it substituted in a
very short time.
At last, I would prefer not to buy it at BMW, but I would like to order
and buy it directly at a spare parts shop (either PIERBURG, BOSCH or
whatsoever). The markup applied by BMW is unjustified in my opinion.
Thanks for you inputs. Alberto

Here is a link to Real OEM BMW parts giving the part number and price from
them.

Actually - REALOEM doesn't sell anything. These prices are Euro prices
converted to US dollar values. Sometimes that works - sometimes it doesn't.

Hi Sylvain,

thanks for your input. Very much appreciated !!!

If you know please tell me what such acronyms mean: ETK, EPC, TIS.

I found them in an eBay auction for selling a fully comprehensive spare
parts BMW 5-series catalog on CD.

This is the link to the auction:

Thanks. Alberto
