TBH after seeing the Verus screen shots of the underside and the issue the outlet already causes with airflow on the bottom of the nose, I don't like this solution. Hoping Verus integrates something nice into their splitter/undertray offering for us. -GT3M2 |

Appears to me that the Mishimoto is maybe 1/2 inch lower than the bumper cover lip? And the stock rubber spoiler is a little closer to the ground than its native position? Now some ramblings and appreciate people's input: I'm wondering if the stock rubber spoiler was BMW's "protection" for the oil cooler, or more likely to create a vortex of low pressure over the surface of the oil cooler to help draw air through from up front (likely both)...Looking at the AutoID oil cooler protector that front spoiler is removed completely but their drop doesn't look like it hangs lower than the front bumper cover lip so maybe more protected from bottoming out. Which makes me then think the Zunsport doesn't mess with that spoiler at all, doesn't hang down and might stop a catastrophic impact from puncturing the oil cooler core, but I'm concerned that the mounting tabs will corrode after a couple winters and need replacing vs the "plate" options. will definitely be doing one of these...

So the mishimoto air dam is an aluminum piece that would serve the duty of the rubber one in my estimate, but you remove the rubber lip from the stock part and attach it to the Mishimoto. I don’t think it’s just 1/2” lower… I’d call it a full inch or more. It’s significantly lower than stock. Have not rubbed it yet, especially because it’s recessed (I’d hit the bumper before it), but some have rubbed it. |

If someone is interested to know what happened to the car, i just searched my vin and looks like the car sold off at insurance auction as engine damage, then it is now on sale/auction with the engine probably fixed? Looks like it is idling and has 10miles more than what I put. It is also missing the front strut bar.

This basically proves that a G? chassis vehicle with a catastrophic engine failure that requires the replacement of the S58 long block and both turbos is worth almost next to nothing because of the cost of a S58 long block and both turbos. Final price without a working engine ~$2,313. Final price with an engine that runs: ~$39,814. |
