My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front. Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.

No I don't have one...
But it's getting chilly in the SF bay area, I guess it's nothing new to people who get snow in the winter.
Should I feel the car pulls stronger with the colder outside air?
Hehee don't quite feel it though when the outside is just below 0C.
Or do I need to get really really cold to feel a difference?
Just curious...

I live in Finland and our temperature usually in winter is -30?c to +5?c. What ever the temperature is I just can't see or feel any difference in the performance of the car.

cold air intakes include a heat-shield that blocks hot air from the engine from getting into the intake, not outside air.
