So, your M5 is occasionally entering the feared limp-mode and starts to feel as if you're driving a Prius. Moreover, it's always happening when you're trying to overtake someone.
Other times, the car would stall idling, making another couple of grey hairs appear on the back of your neck, making living with your beautiful S85 engine and its 10-cylinder proper hell.
Other symptoms include a series of flashing lights in the dash and a lot of errors when testing it properly. In case that has happened to your car, don't worry, we have an easy fix for you.
The problem is the Mass Air Flow sensor that usually gets covered in all kinds of dirt and stuff and malfunctions. Now, the S85 engine has 2 two of them, one for each bank so replacing them might be quite costly.
