S62 Intake Air Temperature Sensor Relocation Kit
V.2
UPDATE: IATS V.2 officially
released!!
Version 2 now includes an
exclusive "fool-proof" 3-way connector to eliminate installation errors and
ensures the most secure connections possible. Additionally, new Delrin jam-nuts
provide extremely low heat-retention properties, providing even more accurate
and dynamic temperature readings.
The factory placement of the E39 M5’s air intake temperature sensor (inside the
airflow meter) was a design oversight in this otherwise near-perfect car. Since
the airflow meters sit 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°
F higher than the actual air temperature outside the car. This kit relocates the
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.
This kit is completely safe and effective, since the sensor that it bypasses is
used for no other reason than to read and send ambient temperature information
to the DME. The other sensors that monitor the temperature of other components
of the car (engine, exhaust, coolant, etc.) are unaffected.
Note: Heat shielding on your AFM will not provide the same results. The heat
inside the engine compartment will quickly penetrate any material used to
"cover" the AFM.
This complete kit includes a new
temperature sensor, wiring harness, stainless steel hardware,
and comprehensive illustrated instructions, detailed enough for an easy DIY
installation. You will also receive the official 30mm x 255mm UFM decal.
