Metal under panel for for E36
Hey guys,
I am on my third under panel and they keep falling off. `Isnt there an after market under panel out there that bolts on tighter and stays put??? I hate that dam thing!!! I found this one. Anybody have experiance with this piece? I am thinking about getting it since the factory pieces are shit and keep coming loose and falling off. http://jtdesigns.stores.yahoo.net/alunpan.html

I had the same issue with my POS 190D 2.2. I gave up and kept it off. Eventually the same thing happened to the 190E 2.6. I also took it off for good.

I also thoguht about this but without it the engine and belts are really exposed to the road and elements. I dont think I want to take that chance.

Edit: after re-reading the add, there are some scary typos (not that I'm one to talk) I'd look for some online reviews prior to purchase

I will post after I get it installed. I had replaced ALL the conponets once before with all new pieces from Bav Auto. I can only think of one instance since then were I slightly bottomed out going up a steep driveway with four people in the car. If that DAM ****ing stock crap cant survive one slight instance like that then **** it, I am going aftermarket. Sorry for the rant, just kind of pissed at the car right now. Not to mention that DAM O ring sqeek from the steering wheel that poped up again. I hate that noise.

It probably doesn't fit LTWs because they have a splitter that includes the under panel.

Is the oilpan on the LTW different, or was that a "trunk option"?
