Sent an email, I'm in for one for my 89 touring w/S52 if a spot is open, thanks

I just want to confirm that in the event of damage, the hoop bar is going to give before the frame rails do...would suck to end up with bent frame rails instead of broken oil pan, but I'm sure by the appearance that the bar is likely to bend first.

In one of the earlier pages there's a pic of a bad hit to the roll bar. Looks like it depends how good your weld is: https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/for...90#post6958690

Hey, good news material did not cost as much as anticipated. So I am passing on the savings. Partial refunds have already went out. Price is now $420 - %15= $357

adamnur if want a guarantee that your frame rails will not be damaged under any circumstances than this is not the plate for you. There is just to many things out of our control. A good professional install is a great start. If you hit something hard enough to do that kind of damage I'm pretty sure you have bigger things to worry about. If you drive around all the time just hammering it you need to change your driving style. Physics still apply. This skid plate will give you peace of mind that it will take care of the unexpected whatever. It will also teach you when to slow down or get a little more sideways. I hardly ever hit my skidplate any more because now I know where I can go. Some places I go faster now than I did before. I have sold many replacement hoops, plates, and hoop stubs. I've seen bent hoops and plates ground way down. Many skids have been transferred to new cars.

Hey John, it said you refunded me the full amount which doesn't seem right. If you can please send me a new invoice and I'll get it back to you in a day or so after this refund clears. I just don't want to get dropped from the group buy. I sent an email earlier as well. Thanks!

Would this skid plate work with the lower X-brace like the old or new one from Garagistic below? Or would they interfere so one would have to run one or the other? My E30 is hibernating out of reach for the winter, can someone with access chime in? TIA!

I by no means drive around smashing cars, just looking to protect my engine swap from normal road risks without high risk of damaging something worse. Good to know pieces have and can be replaced, thanks for the info.

The short answer is no. The front M3 set of holes or front half of slots needs to be cut off to fit next to the skid plate. The old one could be modified, does not look like the new could be modified. The Mason engineering bar can also be modified and may even be able to be ordered to fit. http://https://www.masonengineering....php?bmw_id=e30

I've got the mason X-brace on my vert. Just the regular one that you order online. So this won't work with this? Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk
