I'm aware...Even with such a setup, i believe there are reduction kits that allow the MAF to read real air temperatures. Not my preferred setup as there are much better alternatives. However, the E70 N/A V8 is limited on performance modification alternatives to begin with (let alone the 3.0)...unless one goes with a powerhouse tuner but with that kind of $$ might as well go for an ///M.
