Yesterday I found out that on one of the 2 MAF the plug is damaged. Usually when attaching the connector one should fasten the screw till it 'clicks' and the arrows are shown.
But the counter ring inside the plug disappeared, so the outside nut falls off and does not tighten the plug.
At the moment I just stuck it inand taped it. Hope I can get the plug without cutting the wires.

On the backside you can see some small clips. I could open this but only a small portion came out, but the rest still sticks on the outer side.

This is the male part attached to the MAF, 6 pins

So what i need is the female part which comes from the cable loom side.
And the part number.

Maybe someone can have a look in the ETK.
E32 750iL VIN 3055570

I remember that I have replaced 'outer' plugs on the wash water tank motor. Had to destroy the old one, but not to cut the cable and the inner connector. Just inserting that cable connector in the new plug, clip it in and it worked.

Clarified by the gents from e34.de
p/n is 12 52 1 707 321 for the plug and costs less than 10 $.
But to get the cables out of the old one and put it into the new one without cutting them, requires a special tool which only the friendly dealer has. The cables come out from the rear with the single connectors.

This just for info in case you have the same problem
