It increases oil capacity, adds integrated cooling fins and internal baffling, and provides additional -8AN ports, delivering better cooling, better oil control and far greater durability for hard-driven DCT applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy The Factory Pan Runs Short\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard DCT sump is plastic, holds a modest volume of oil, and has no meaningful provision for cooling or for controlling oil movement. On a road car that is adequate. On a car used on track, DCT oil temperature climbs quickly, and high oil temperature is what triggers the gearbox to protect itself by limiting torque, at exactly the point in a session where the driver notices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore Oil, More Cooling, Better Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MMX pan addresses all three factors at once. Increased capacity means more oil doing the work and a slower rate of temperature rise. Integrated cooling fins increase surface area to shed heat into the airflow underneath the car. Internal baffling keeps the oil where the pickup needs it under sustained cornering loads, rather than allowing it to surge away from the pickup on a long right-hander.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional -8AN Ports\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pan is machined with additional -8AN ports, allowing an external DCT oil cooler to be plumbed in for cars that need more thermal capacity again. That makes it suitable as a standalone upgrade or as the foundation of a full cooling solution on a serious track car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTorque Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor installation reference: magnet 4Nm (2.95 ft-lbs), oil pan bolts 10 ±1Nm, fill plug 35Nm, drain plug 8Nm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased DCT oil capacity over the factory plastic sump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated external cooling fins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal baffling to control oil movement under cornering load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional -8AN ports for an external oil cooler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in black anodised or clear anodised finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for the factory pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e MMR40-1601 (Black Anodised), MMR40-1602 (Clear Anodised)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6061-T6 billet aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Additional -8AN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorque – Magnet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4Nm (2.95 ft-lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorque – Pan Bolts:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 ±1Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorque – Fill Plug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorque – Drain Plug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW F80 M3 with DCT transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW F82 M4 and F83 M4 with DCT transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW F87 M2 and M2 Competition with DCT transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this only worthwhile for track cars?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cooling and baffling benefits are most valuable on track, but the durability of a billet pan over a plastic one applies to any car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs an external cooler required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The pan works as a standalone upgrade.
