Factories use MAF because it compensates for small VE changes over engine life due to wear, use of different components etc.
For example when BMW M3 (E46) MAF sensor fails, ECU goes to Alpha-N mode. And M3 CSL (E46) uses Alpha-N from the factory, if it would be so bad they wouldn't have went that route  |
If that's the case, primary is MAF due to its superior metering capabilities with Alpha-N as its "limp" mode. If AN was the best, they would have saved money scrapping the MAF system, right?
