Anyone insulated the battery pack heat sink?

I am awaiting delivery of my CE 04. I understand there is a large finned heatsink on the underside of the bike (it's somewhat visible in the attached pic). Has anyone experimented with putting an insulating cover over it during cold weather? This might extend by several degrees the cold weather envelope for riding the bike.

An interesting idea. My first thought, though, is to wonder whether it might interfere with any battery management software/system that is in place? Needs more thought…
 
Putting aside the possibility of some unnecessarily complex programming on BMW's part, moderately reducing heat transfer to the cold can't interfere with the BMS. It would just feel as if it were a warmer day, like 10 instead of 0.
