Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for BMW 3 (2019-) VII generation (G20/G21/G28) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your BMW 3 Series (2019-) VII generation (G20/G21/G28) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, crafted from durable 2 mm thick steel. This essential protection acts as a robust shield for your engine and oil pan, safeguarding vital components against potential damage from road hazards. With this protection in place, you can drive confidently, knowing your vehicle's underbody is shielded from impacts.
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 skid plate covers critical areas such as the gearbox and engine, ensuring comprehensive protection. Its construction features shock-absorbing elements and ventilation openings, facilitating optimal airflow while maintaining temperature control. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. By preventing damage to the engine and oil pan, it reduces maintenance costs and prolongs vehicle life. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications.
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.
