Happy Holidays to everyone!
I guess those are different BMW engineers then the ones that desigened this system for the CSL.... Seems pretty open to engine bay heat to me. I wonder why, if BMW engineers were so worried about heat soak,they would build an intake like the CSL when they were looking for max performance. The only AFE system I hear bad reviews about are the e60 systems. You gotta remember one thing... when a car is actually driving on the road and not sitting on a dyno the air that is in the engine bay is not static like it would be on the dyno. Even with huge fans the flow of air will not be the same as actually on the road.
