51117413496 Skid Plate | OE-Spec Underbody Shield for 2015-2017 BMW X3 F25
51117413496 Skid Plate: Reinforced Front Underbody Protection
The 51117413496 Skid Plate delivers factory-grade underbody protection for 2015-2017 BMW X3 F25 models, featuring 3D-molded polypropylene construction with integrated impact absorption channels. This direct replacement component replicates OE geometry with 2.5mm thick walls and strategic rib reinforcement. The 51117413496 Skid Plate incorporates pre-drilled mounting holes aligned with factory subframe brackets, while textured surface finish prevents stone chip abrasion. Thermoformed edges create seamless integration with existing underbody panels, maintaining aerodynamic efficiency. Chemical-resistant polypropylene formulation withstands road salt, oil, and temperature fluctuations from -40°F to 212°F. Modular design allows individual section replacement without full assembly removal. Weight-optimized structure reduces stress on mounting points while providing 12,000 PSI impact resistance. Pre-primed surface ready for optional color matching while maintaining corrosion protection.
Engineering Specifications
