I echo this. My E46 was having MAF issues, and everything looked ok until I noticed that one of the very fine sensor wires had broken. Incredibly easy to miss unless you were in bright light and looking directly at it. I bought a junkyard MAF for ~$8 and hit it with the CRC cleaner and have been great ever since.

If you do need a new one, it never hurts to take a flier on a junkyard MAF, IMO. Not with how much cheaper they are.
