It's the "Radiator Insulator", it's the newest thing and even available aftermarket for our E60's too! 
"The weakest part of your car is the likely the radiator. It is a simple matter of physics when we tell you this: Energy is lost through heat. Transmissions, as they lose more and more heat, begin to cause more loss of power. However, that's only a small part - The worst part is the radiator! All sorts of heat is lost through the radiator - in essence - losing the horsepower through heat! Not anymore!! KaleCoAuto brings you the Radiator Insulator - Simply slip over your radiator and enjoy the power! KaleCoAuto radiator insulation is made from only the finest asbestos, and is guaranteed to trap 90% more heat!"
Here is the link to the manufacturer!

Do you lose power because of so much heat generated or do you lose power because you lose heat?

I'm a bit confused, really confused actually. So, you lose power because of heat. If you put this radiator insulator thing, it will actually trap the heat? Won't that make the engine hotter?
Do you lose power because of so much heat generated or do you lose power because you lose heat?
