Ensure the ultimate protection for your BMW 5 (2017-2023) VII generation (G30) with our Kolchuga® skid plate, expertly crafted from 2 mm thick steel. This robust shield acts as a barrier against potential damage, safeguarding your engine and oil pan from the harshest road conditions. Experience peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is equipped with a reliable defense against impacts from rocks, ice, and other debris.
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 provides comprehensive coverage for critical areas such as the radiator and engine. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs for added strength, shock-absorbing features to mitigate impact forces, and ventilation openings to ensure optimal thermal management. Additionally, service access openings are integrated for convenient maintenance tasks without removing the protection.
With Kolchuga® protection, your vehicle is shielded from damaging impacts caused by rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. This robust design not only enhances mechanical protection but also reduces corrosion and improves aerodynamics, contributing to better fuel efficiency. The skid plate is easily installed at factory mounting 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.
