With a lowered E30, there is the constant risk of scraping the oil pan on speed bumps, driveways, or other road debris. Replacing a damaged oil pan is expensive, and the sudden loss of oil from a broken pan means nearly instant engine destruction.
SPECIAL VERSION WITH OIL PAN COOLING VENTS - RECOMMENDED FOR RACE/TRACK CARS NOT USING AN OIL COOLER.

- Stainless steel in a nearly bulletproof 10-gauge thickness gives true armor protection.
- Oil drain plug cover. No hole leaving the vulerable oil drain plug exposed. UPDATE: Now retained by convenient wingnut style fasteners.
- All hardware included. Grade 10 or 8.8 in the various locations meets or exceeds BMW specification for strength. Self-locking flange head hardware will not come loose.
- Precision construction with slotted mounting holes. While every one of our skid plates is identical, that's not necessarily true for all E30s. Due to over 25 years' worth of use, some E30s may have their front radiator support in a position slightly different than when new... and the slotted holes in the UUC skid plate accomodate those variations.
- Quality materials. The entire assembly is constructed in the USA of premium stainless steel alloy and plated hardware for a lifetime of use
- Extended front mounting lip. The extra couple of inches at the front of the UUC skid plate help box in the radiator air inlet area for improving cooling efficiency.
- Integrated threaded holes. Welded-on hardware mens no fumbling around with loose nuts during installation.
- LEGAL FOR SpecE30 RACING.
- 100% MADE IN USA
You are assured that this is the best possible product at any price, at any cost. By using massive overkill engineering, we have ensured that the UUC skid plate has left nothing to compromise.
