There's already been a handful of these type of accidents in the m3 forum, but they were quick enough to turn the engine off before any serious damage occurred. This will definitely happen more often. Here's my dinky little mesh.

aight I'm still hesitant on putting on front aftermarket grills but this definitely made me wary enough to throw down on the under grills from Zunsport...

Something doesn't add up. Sure, the cooler is damaged and leaking. But - there is no oil slick underneath the car or any indication that oil was flowing out while underway. So the oil did not exit the engine while driving. Which means that the oil leaked out while parked.
Which means two things -- (1) there would have been a massive oil slick under the car while parked, which should have been obvious and (2) low oil warnings as soon as the car was started, not miles down the road. What am I missing here? |

Absolute nightmare. I've driven F80/F82 cars almost exclusively for like 7 years now, including may long trips between Miami and St. Louis and never had an issue (our oil cooler is setup much the same way). This poor guy buys a brand new car and has the issue/motor destruction on the first day, what horrible luck.
So sorry OP, I hope everything is remedied to your satisfaction quickly but I have a feeling you're going to have a fight on your hands whichever route you go. Good luck! |

All (F80/82/87/G80/82/83/87) are the exact same way. |

Well, you said you were going to look at the underside later, that’s what I was responding to. You’re looking it at it because a) it’s a manual and b) it’s the same in every car.

The Turner Motor Sports skid plate protects the entire bay (see pic) unlike the Mishimoto and based on all posts here and other threads, a much better, albeit a bit more expensive, option. IMO
