airflow meter mate its either on its way out or when you changed it u upset the wiring to it maybe one is shorting out or has come away from the plug altogether mine did this when i changed gearbox dropped engine abit and 1 of the wires had come away from the plug although it wouldnt rev proper would just backfire check wiring and unplug afm see if any changes

If he's changed the air filter and this problem only started after he did that why would he want to be looking at the afm? The cone filter's make XEs run a bit lame so it's probably just that
Why did you swap a bmc over for a cone filter in the first place?

It is possible bud but I'd say that's quite a rarity. Also if it was a fault with the afm it would run like a bag of shite, or not even at all.
Switch it for an enclosed filter again, I went from a cone to an ebay cf enclosed induction kit. It made it run far smoother
