Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for BMW X1 (2015-2022) II generation (F48) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your BMW X1 (2015-2022) II generation (F48) with Kolchuga® skid plates, engineered for optimal compatibility and durability. Available in either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick AluOx® aluminum, these skid plates serve as a robust shield for your engine, oil pan, and transmission. Designed to absorb impacts and prevent damage, they ensure your vehicle's critical components remain intact even in rugged conditions.
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 |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
Covering the radiator, gearbox, and engine, this skid plate features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings for optimal thermal management. Certain models include service access openings, allowing for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, extending the life of your vehicle and reducing maintenance costs. Designed for easy installation, it mounts directly to the factory points without the need for drilling or welding.
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.
