Cooling air comes in from underneath, being deflected up into the radiator by the air dam. Even before the mods, that's where most of the cooling air came from. The engine air intake is just in front of the radiator (where it's always been).

Both coolant temperature (91°C) and intake temperature (same as ambient air temperature) are unchanged from what they were before the mods.

I struggled a lot with my BMW 1.8 to see less than 6.3l\100Km..
Good job!!
Thanks! It's just a regular engine, and I haven't done any tweaks to it (like messing with the ECU or fooling the sensors), nor do I plan to.
