Oh great MY specialist subject comes up and I get to the party a day late...

Well it's all true anyway, I've just done this with my iS. I got a 1.8 M40 AFM from smithy318i which has cleared up a flat spot problem I had.

Do make sure you get the right one though i.e. must be a 1.8 M40, and you must also check if it is for a catalyst equipped car or not (and get the same as yours - the difference is the potentiometer adjustment screw on the side)

FYI there is also a Bosch(?) part number on the top of the AFM compare this for 100% certainty.
