Thanks

i want to buy K&N's but I've been hesitant as I'ver heard rumors on this board that the oils in the filter mess up the MAF. Never damaged my W124 though

Yeah the K&N thing is a rumor. I had to replace my MAF after 40k miles while I was still using stock filters. I put in K&N's at around 45k miles; I'm at 106k now and haven't had any problems.

My MAF also went bad with stock filters so it might just be bad quality MAF's not the air filters.
