i had a really hard time getting that out off the metal piece that is responsible for the reading to the ecu.anyway,put it back in and plugged it up.i have increased power now down low that i have never had since owning the car.looks like a new one is in the works and thats the problem.what i did, fixed it 98%.
MAF sensors get dirty especially with oily air filters over time. I would only spray/clean it with MAF cleaner without touch it with anything.

The e46 M3 also uses MAF sensor and many owners experienced better performance after cleaning it.
