If it is like their other BMW applications. It isn't sealed and sucks in hot air. Not a big fan.

My buddy has the AFE in his 545i, it isn't sealed, he just likes the sound. It just has this aluminum cover. Drive your car for an hour let the engine bay heat up, then dyno it. I bet you will lose power, HEAT SOAK.
