I agree that stock is a great route to go...however with proper care and maintenance, there are aftermarket intakes that will suffice...Dinan for example. Unfortunately, Dinan didn't develop an intake for the E70. An intake alone may be useless except for engine growl but coupled with the right modifications, it will make a difference.

As far heatsoke goes, it's a non factor with street level performance, IMO.
