So i know that an AFM for 318s and AFMs for 325i,ix,is wont work for my 325e but i'm noticing there are different part #s for the 325e AFMs. Real OEM says my AFM part # is 13621466355. Is that the BMW P# or the Bosch P#? I want to buy a new one but I don't know if there is a difference between the AFMs I am seeing for the 325e 2.7liter E engines or if it's just different BMW P#s for different years. .

Whatever you do, do not get a new suspiciously cheap one from ebay.Last edited by ThomasE30; 10-12-2020, 09:04 PM.

The 325E had several part numbers through the years and the PN you listed is a BMW PN. There were several small revisions throughout the years but all PNs should be consider the same part, as long as its for a 325e, you will be fine. Note that the late model 325e, SETA, is a different AFM and will not work on yours.
Also note that spraying cleaner on the inside of your AFM will not do much because once you drive it will fill with oil again. Also when you spray cleaner inside the AFM, it does not get anywhere close to the electronics section, which is usually the problem with these.
We usually have 325E afms and can also provide you service. Check our website for more info about AFM and AFM refurbishment. I also have a good thread on this forum that goes into great depth about refurbishing and troubleshooting the AFM.
If you are using the original 30 year old AFM, it should be replaced.Owner - Bavarian Restoration
