Radiator, Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for BMW X3 (2010-2017) II generation (F25) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your BMW X3 (2010-2017) II generation (F25) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, crafted from durable 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection serves as a mechanical shield for your engine and essential components, safeguarding them against harmful impacts from below. Think of it as a protective armor for your vehicle, designed to withstand the rigors of the road.
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, including the radiator, engine, and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection against road hazards. Its construction features reinforcements and ventilation openings that optimize airflow, maintaining the engine's cooling efficiency. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle from impacts caused by rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, preventing potentially costly damage. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points without requiring drilling or modifications. This means you can enjoy enhanced mechanical protection and improved aerodynamics with minimal hassle.
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.
