Aluminum Oil Cooler Skid Plate (F8X M3/M4)
The oil cooler on the BMW F80 M3, F82 Coupe, and F83 Convertible M4 is a low-hanging and essential component, making it highly susceptible to damage from road debris, uneven pavement, and track curbing. The S&H MOTORSPORTS Heavy-Duty Oil Cooler Skid Plate provides critical, uncompromising protection, ensuring the longevity and reliability of your high-performance S55 engine's oil system.
This plate is a robust, direct replacement for the factory lower guard, engineered to exceed OEM standards in both material strength and fitment.
Key Features and Protection
-
Critical Component Defense: Designed to fully shield the highly exposed front-mounted oil cooler, preventing catastrophic engine failure from rock strikes or impacts that could lead to oil loss.
-
High-Strength Aluminum Alloy: Constructed from a durable Aluminum Alloy, this skid plate offers superior rigidity and impact resistance compared to stock components. We utilize materials modeled after the lightweight, high-strength composite found in OEM designs (including magnesium alloys) to minimize added mass while maximizing protection.
-
Perfect F8X Fitment: Engineered using precision methods to ensure a direct, bolt-on replacement for the factory lower engine tray/skid plate. It utilizes all OEM mounting points for a secure and rattle-free installation.
-
Optimized Design: Features a solid, impact-resistant design that still allows for adequate heat dissipation, maintaining the S55 engine's optimal operating temperature without compromise.
