New Turner G42 M240i Aluminum Skid Plate

With new BMW engines like the S55, B58, and S58 that saw large power numbers, there is a dire need for cooling but no room in the engine bay. These cars have so much power packed under the hood to it causes the oil cooler to be placed face-down to the road. This makes the cooler an easy target for impact, which can prove catastrophic as the stock belly pan is designed from a flexible plastic material. On the G42 specifically there is a very small plastic piece to cover the oil cooler that offers next to zero protection from road debris and impacts. We've heard stories of small branches, scrap pieces that fell from trucks to large ice chunks impact the cooler immediately draining the car of its oil. If you don't catch this right away this could cause serious internal engine damage due to oil starvation.

The Turner skid plate weighs only a few pounds more than the plastic OE splash guard while providing an exponential amount of increased protection. This skid plate requires no modification and mounts using the existing factory hardware. To keep your oil cooler operating properly the skid plate utilizes smooth flared air-flow channels that allows the oil cooler to pick up cool air and disperse heat efficiently.
