Cooling Upgrades for x5m e70

Living in the desert is mostly riddled with cons, but the one con, in particular, that really sets things apart for turbocharged cars, is the heat.

As we all know, the S63 doesn't respond well to heat and lots of parts fail and need replacement in the process.

I'm looking for advice on the best way to mitigate that issue; whether it's aftermarket parts or home DIY stuff and I believe the forum is a good way to keep those things documented.

I've personally done the following:

1. switch the original thermostat to a 90C thermostat

2. turbo blanket

3. Removed the back engine cover and weather stripping


Share your thoughts and advice on what else can be done to help engine live longer and survive in horrible temps.

(I sincerely apologize if this topic has been previously discussed; I'm just looking to compile it all in one thread)
