M5 Airfilters - MAF Sensor Clogging??

[Trellis]

Hi

I'm tempted to drop higher flow air filters in to my E39 M5 but have one minor concern -

will the oil present in K&N/Pipercross type panels eventually contaminate and clog the sensor on the MAFS?

Has anyone done any mileage on aftermarket filters on an E39 M5 that can vouch for the continued condition of their MAFS?? (mine were replaced about 5k ago)

Cheers

Pipercross come with oil for application before installation - but the oil is obviously a key in air particle removal!

Thanks C - you are helpful as ever!! (bm5w )

I've ordered 'dry' pipercross and will give them just a light 'dusting' of oil

Last I saw was a message saying it was going to be off-line but that this would hopefully only be temporary and that a link page would be set up to direct people to a new address at some point?
