u have to wait temporarily...those seniors are bz with one of the hottest thread now...and i myself am speechless there...but here are some add..

1. GB - gearbox
2. TT - teh tarik session
3. WTS - want to sell
4. wtb-want to buy
5.udm-ultimate driving machine
6.bmw-so many laaa, penat nak type
ask for more...

Who teach u one ah???

Ur E90 no use AFM.. But the E30 uses AFM, so I can confirm it's Air Flow Meter...
