The placement of the BMW M5’s air intake temperature sensor is inside the airflow meter (AFM). The airflow meters is directly behind the radiator, the factory sensor sends inaccurately high temperature readings to the DME when the engine is hot. When the DME receives these false high readings, the engine’s performance is retarded to protect itself. In tests, the temperature inside the AFM is often over 45 degrees F higher than the actual air temperature outside the car.

This kit relocates the temperature sensor to the front of the car inside the airdam, where it will always send the true temperature reading to the engine’s DME. This simple modification will ensure consistent performance when the engine is at full operating temperature.

The sensor is a Bosch variable thermo resistor, which has no skin, nerve endings, or perspiration tendencies, so "wind chill" is not an issue provided the sensor is not immersed in water. The curve in the sensor readings that UFMotorsport's uses, matches the OEM sensor inside the AFM perfectly.
