25F to 35F delta is what I typically see with the ess625. The cooler the ambient, the more efficient the IC works. If you are seeing that kind of difference while cruising at 50mph, you have something wrong or do not have an IC

with the oem ess kit (small plastic res.) in stop and go traffic it's about 20 degrees above ambient once other fluids are at operating temps. the cooler the ambient, the longer the intake temps take to get to the 20 degree delta...
ice box- 90 deg ambient, 120+ AIT displayed on P3
ess res.- 90 deg ambient, 110 AIT displayed on P3
I think the only solution is another heat exchanger. my plans are for another heat exchanger with two small fans drawing air.
if you look at the turbo m4s/m3s there are a few heat exchangers....

With the n54 equipped with a JB4, there was an option to make the rad fan more (and I think higher speed). I've been keeping an eye out for something like this for the M3 but its never been mentioned. Maybe a Benvo question if its possible..
