Yea, I am really dumb for not having it installed. Even did all that hardcore reinforcement on the core support to make it stronger. Its one of those things... you really don't need it until one random day you do. And it'll save you MAJOR hassle and irritation. Do it.Originally posted by 2mAn View PostComment

I had no issue even when it was bolted to the "flimsy" bottom of core support. It would definitely have saved the pan in this instance. To your point though, I reinforced the bottom of the core support to give the skid plate more strength, but didn't take the 45 mins to reinstall it.Originally posted by IRON-E View Post

Dude, 45 min install?
Yeah, you knew this was going to happen and didn't prevent it. Your fault.@IRON-E30 aka Edwin:DComment

I really need to install mine... Maybe I will do it this Friday after work. I dont think my cage will be getting welded in anytime soon so I can spend my time doing this insteadSimon

Strange...I have never busted an oil pan in my life. I thought it might be a swap thing but I see guys with stock engines breaking pans too. Are u guys driving with aggressive drops or what?"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Ive personally never broken one, but Im fairly low, but whats worse is that the E34 M50 pan just hangs out there and is the first thing to absorb an impact, the lip and valence wont do anything to stop itOriginally posted by reelizmpro View PostSimon

I've never broken one, but I watched my dad drive my vert's oil pain right into the ground coming up the driveway at 40 mph on stock height....

5 years driving low. Always careful. I was so proud.
Then it happened. I cried. I became a statistic.

Its one of those things, you don't need it until you need it. And likely it won't be when you'd "expect" it (like running over accident debris in the dark while avoiding hitting the wreck and oncoming traffic around a blind turn)
Looked at it yesterday, its just a crack that appears to be fixable.Comment
