The F10 M5 guys have been doing this without any issue so its surprising that you are saying the X5M can't run the same setup.

The placement of the X5M filters wouldn't allow an open intake design w/o heat soak issues. It's directly above the radiators, direct blast of hot air vs M5 filters are on the sides (away from significant heat source). There's also no room for MSR type of design either.
