I'm not sure what you mean by this, but my wife's radio in her e90 can get a bit warm. That is the radio itself though and nothing from the engine and far from what I would call hot.

When I get off the car and touch the hood (near the intake) itīs really hot.

That would generally be where your radiator is which is where the engine dissipates much of it's heat. If your hood doesn't have a heat shield on it (padding on the underside of the hood), then yes the hood can get pretty hot if you've been driving hard and/or for a significant period of time.
So in short, maybe
If you are really concerned though, get it warmed up to that point and swing by the dealer and have a SA/tech tell you for sure if they think it is a problem or not.
