You're not going to make more power. The actual intake temperature, whatever the air is when it enters the cylinders - did not change at all. There's no possible way moving the sensor could change the actual IAT, and thus the density of the intake charge.

Even if it did read significantly different (which is doubtful), all you would succeed in doing is throwing off the model of air density used by the computer to calculate everything from traction control to ignition to fueling (and more).

Given that there is basically zero evidence that the stock IAT heat soaks due to its position, and BMW probably spent millions figuring out the best position for every sensor - this is definitely another totally pointless N52 mod.
