Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for BMW 3 (2012-2019) VI generation (F30/F31/F34/F35) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your BMW 3 Series (2012-2019) with Kolchuga® skid plate, crafted from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. This robust protection acts as a shield for your oil pan and engine, ensuring that critical components are safeguarded against potential damage from road hazards. Designed for perfect compatibility, this skid plate enhances the durability and reliability of your vehicle.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
This protection covers critical areas including the radiator, gearbox, and engine. The construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings to enhance durability, while service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the skid plate. This design ensures that your vehicle remains protected while facilitating quick servicing.
Kolchuga® skid plate provides exceptional protection against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. It not only offers mechanical protection but also reduces the risk of corrosion and improves aerodynamics. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points without the need for drilling.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
