Skid plates? When I was your age we didnt have skid plates! We used to put our hands under the car and we were happy about it!

Are you guys serious? Does anyone have a pic of a skidplate? Is this for off road rallying or a legitimate OEM car part??

He's gone through like 50 oil pans and I don't think he has one yet.

How much do the oem ones go for ?

Around $180. I've gotten so low as $165, but that is with a wholesale account. The worst was $220 from a "BMW specialty" shop in Rockville...

They're pretty easy to get hands on, you just have to know where to go for them. Most places will say there are none left, but thats never really the case, you might get the runaround though, I know of 3 places I can get one...

I should also mention that there is a early model / late model difference in skidplates, and the hardware to fit them is usually junk, so you want to get some tougher hardware too.
