What's your charged air temp?
Slightly cooler air in will net not much cooler charged air temps.
It's not an air inlet temp issue, it's heat as result of pressure.
I can tell you first hand having seen some underhood temps in some compound turbo setups with inlet temps being 130ish, and by the time both chargers boosted the charged air temp was almost 700* pre intercooler, then few hundred post. The intercooler was also 6x the size of the s63.
The cooling capacity of the s63 intercooler is functional, but not major.
Here's some relevant information!
