Hello, are you saying that with the stock BMW airbox your car overheats and that with a cone filter it doesn't?

doesn't sound right at all - the air intake has nothing to do really with the engine temp

-if it runs lean with the std airbox (ought to be the other way round tho') and there is no lambda sensor and mixture correction then it might well run hotter with a lean mixture.

-other than that thought, I'm just plain confused....

cheers
