Does the cost of installing a airfoil on the cab roof of my truck offset any increase in gas mileage because of the aerodynamics? Does the airfoil effect handling of the truck while hauling a 35 foot ...
IMO if you could find/make one that fit far enough back to blend into the front of the 5er, then they would probably do some good. But most mount on top of the cab and are too far away to do any good.
The front of a semi-trailer is totally flat and any aerodynamic help you can get would be a plus, but a 5er is already tapered a bit, and the wing is so far away that I think any aerodynamic help would be negligible.
