So we all know E30s are notorious for the low hanging oil pan and on the IX the pans are becoming more difficult to find, a pain to replace and as a result much more expensive. Does anyone have a line on a good source for IX skid plates? I know bav used to sell them but I am looking for something a little beefier for each of my cars. Thank you in advance!

you could ask Satch Carlson (Roundel editor and rallist) about this bad boy on the Bad Dog Dinan IX rally car

are you off roading your car? if not, you don't need a skid plate. RWD cars have an oil pan that hangs way out front and below the subframe. I can't say I've heard of many broken ix oil pans. I don't think it would be hard to find a used one anyway.
all the skid plate is going to do is hang lower and add weight to the front of the car. in all the years of driving around a lowered ix I never hit anything with my oil pan.Comment
