intake air temp
So I got my data logger and was interested in what the E55 cars have for Intake air temp.
Mine fluctuates from 42C+to high 50C. This is during the day time with heat near 95 degrees F. Obviously the high temps are at full throttle.
At night it was from 32C to high 40C. Temp during the night was in the high 60s F.
btw I'm using the Scanlogic and I love the small size. I just attached it to a small suction cup and have it on my left hand side windshield.

Doesn't someone make intake spacers for the 55K engine? Evosport maybe? My best friend had them installed on his '03 E55 and they helped keep temps down.

Also, the intake spacer (or whatever it's called) by Evosport is an entirely different product. I think, it shields the heat from the lower to the upper intake manifold.
Good Luck if you decide to do the heat shield wrap. Well worth the time and the <$100 investment.
P.S. Cylinder head, wrong site, but a cute car. A few mods and you might be able to keep up with the C32 club.

However, the real benefit is it makes the beast alot more consistent and still has a crisp throttle, even on very hot days (today being one of those days 96F).

On a scale of 1-10 it's a 4, pretty easy. All you have to do is pop off the intake tubes, unscrew the top off the intake box, and pop off the the bottom portion of the intake box. Then it's a matter of cutting the heat shield to fit and tieing or pasting it on. Then reassemble.
You can get the heatshield from Jeggs.com.
One of the guys who tried it claimed upto a 2 tenths drop in his 1/4 mi time (more realisticly 1/10 drop).
