Aftermarket Underhood Shields? (Belly pans)

E91 Hoarder · 07-06-2020, 07:11 PM

Looking to replace the missing belly pan (p/n 51757129341).

Genuine BMW costs $250-$300, while there are a lot of cheap aftermarket options in $25-$70 range.

Does anyone have experience with the aftermarket underhood shields? How is the quality/fitment?

They are usually a lot flimsier/thinner, at least the ones I have seen.

Look at ECS tuning. They have a couple around $100.00 that work

Thanks for the info. Checked it out on ESCT... shipping is $190

I heard insane stories about ESC... maybe they are true...

I got this one 2 months ago and the quality and the fitment was fine. But, I see it's out of stock now.

I got an eBay one for like $60 a few years ago on my old e90 and had no complaints. A little thinner than stock but lined up great and once all the screws were in, it was rock solid. $320 is way too much in my opinion.
