Overview
This aluminium guard plate protects the exposed S55 oil cooler on F8X M3, M4 and M2C applications. A simple bolt-on addition that reduces the risk of stone chip damage to the oil cooler on cars that see regular use.
Why Upgrade?
- Protects the S55 oil cooler from stone chips and road debris
- Aluminium construction for durability
- Black anodised finish
- Direct bolt-on installation to existing mounting points
Built for the Drive, Not Just the Dyno
An exposed oil cooler is the kind of thing you don't think about until a stone chip puts a hole in it mid-drive. A guard plate is cheap, simple, and exactly the sort of unglamorous protection that's easy to skip and expensive to regret skipping.
Engineering Focus
CNC machined aluminium with black finish. Designed for direct installation at the F8X oil cooler location without modification.
