It is the bottom cover for the area/space btw the grille and the radiator. I can post a picture later. __________________ '99 ti /Mtechnic, Schwartz II, Meyle Control Arms w/Full Metal Ball Joints, PowerFlex poly LCAB's, Pirelli P Zero/Nero 225/50/16, "the d-baffle"...... | | | 01-27-2006, 04:22 AM | #18 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | Quote: Originally Posted by GREX1969 Same here - a big chunk of plastic covering the whole floor of the engine bay. | PIC PIC PIC PIC PIC PIC! __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 01-28-2006, 08:22 PM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: San Francisco Posts: 308 | WTH!? I posted 4 pictures yesterday! It is attached by 4 of those goldish colored 10mm trim bolt/screws and inserts into notches in wheelwell-frontbumper transition piece. | | | 06-24-2006, 08:04 PM | #20 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 | I know this is an old thread but I am wondering if this is what I was missing. There are 2 plastic pieces under the brake duct attached to the spoiler. In the center there is a missing piece. It attaches to the 2 plastic pieces on the side underneath.. Is this the $17 part from bavauto? Just want to double check before I order. I thought it was the splash panel, but realoem has something different pictured when I searched. I will take a pic later if noone is certain. http://www.bavauto.com/lview.asp?img...1718156259.jpg | | | 06-25-2006, 11:30 PM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: San Francisco Posts: 308 | If you don't have the piece pictured, from underneath, in the middle pic in the post above...then yeah. Sorry, that's kind of a run-on sentence or something. __________________ '99 ti /Mtechnic, Schwartz II, Meyle Control Arms w/Full Metal Ball Joints, PowerFlex poly LCAB's, Pirelli P Zero/Nero 225/50/16, "the d-baffle"...... | | | 07-06-2006, 02:59 PM | #22 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Essex UK Posts: 164 | Seems to me your talking about the "undertray", I think you guys in the states seem not to have it fitted from factory where as in europe it is a common fitment, helps with airflow (nice and smooth), engine bay air managment, and noise suppression in driveby. It also has a little flap in it so you can access the sump plug without removing the whole tray.

It's very cheap and BavAuto offres you OEM part. http://www.bavauto.com/lview.asp?img...1718156259.jpg As you can see, it has OEM sticker on it. | | | 07-31-2007, 02:51 PM | #25 | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Belarus Posts: 29 | One my friend also didn't have this radiator protection cover and I've sent him detailed 3MB photos to identify this part. If some of you are really interested please mail me your e-mails and I'll send it to you. | | | 08-02-2007, 09:12 PM | #26 | Member Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Houston Posts: 46 | The bavauto link doesnt work for me, I am in the same situation, the splash guard under the radiator is torn along the the side peices that they attach to, thanks to wading around in monsoon floods. I have a 98 stock Mtechnic Ti, and the european air diverter thing you guys mentioned sounds awesome... roundel you got PM -Conan | | | 08-03-2007, 10:30 AM | #27 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 | is yours a standard or mtech front bumper? __________________ Vin Number decode and Retrofit Pdfs Available Free !

Actually I dont know what to call it... its a sport package but the word "M-Technics" just sounds so cool..
