How to test an AFM?
How do i test an air flow meter off the car? i vaguely remember the haynes manual says to get a multimeter on two pins and open the flap slowly and the resistance should go up (or down) slowly.
Is this correct?

Re: Removing M Tech 2 Kit and bumpers.....
I also need to know this (have a thread in e30 chat)

Pods: they just pop off (pulled)
skirts: undo screws up top,then pop them off the clips at the bottom.
