General notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In normal operation, the air mass meter is subject to effects such as dirt contamination and ageing. These effects cause divergence between the stored characteristic and the specified status resulting in lack of power or black smoke. In order to prevent the effects of this problem, the heating wire air mass flow sensor adaptation has been introduced.
The mass airflow (MAF) meter service function must be conducted when the mass airflow meter is replaced. The stored correction factors are reset to 0 in the process.
We can assume no liability for printing errors or inaccuracies in this document and reserve the right to introduce technical modifications at any time.
