Protect one of the most vulnerable components underneath your BMW G80/G81 M3, G82/G83 M4 or G87 M2 with the VYCE Underbody Engine Oil Cooler Guard. Manufactured from durable stainless steel and finished in black, this protective guard is designed to shield the factory underbody engine oil cooler from road debris, stones and other potential impacts.
The BMW S58-powered M2, M3 and M4 feature a factory engine oil cooler positioned beneath the front of the vehicle. While this location supports the vehicle's cooling system, it also leaves the cooler exposed to debris thrown up from the road, particularly on lowered vehicles or those regularly driven on poorly maintained surfaces.
Damage to the engine oil cooler can result in oil leaks, loss of oil pressure and potentially serious engine damage if the vehicle continues to be driven. The VYCE stainless steel oil cooler guard provides an additional protective barrier, helping reduce the risk of direct impacts without requiring extensive modifications to the vehicle's underbody.
Designed to utilise the factory OEM mounting points, the guard is supplied with everything required for installation, making it a practical and cost-effective preventative upgrade for the BMW G8X platform.

Practical preventative protection for road and track-driven BMW M cars
The BMW S58 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine, fitted to the G87 M2, G80/G81 M3 and G82/G83 M4, relies on an effective engine oil cooling system to manage temperatures during everyday driving and high-performance use.
One of the system's components is an oil cooler mounted beneath the front of the vehicle, where it is exposed to the road surface.
Although BMW provides factory underbody protection, the cooler's position makes it vulnerable to impacts from stones, debris and other objects encountered while driving.
A damaged oil cooler can lead to a significant loss of engine oil. If the engine is operated with insufficient lubrication or oil pressure, serious internal damage can occur.
Installing an additional protective guard is a relatively inexpensive preventative measure compared with the potential cost of replacing a damaged oil cooler or repairing the resulting engine damage.
The VYCE Underbody Engine Oil Cooler Guard is designed specifically to address this vulnerability.
Unlike lightweight plastic underbody panels, the VYCE guard is manufactured from stainless steel, providing a strong protective barrier between the road and the factory engine oil cooler.
Stainless steel offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making it particularly suitable for a component mounted underneath a vehicle and regularly exposed to water, road grime and changing weather conditions.
The guard features a durable black finish, helping it blend discreetly with the surrounding factory underbody components.
Its construction makes it a practical addition for owners looking to protect their BMW's engine oil cooling system during regular road use.
Lowering the suspension is one of the most popular modifications for the BMW G8X platform, with many owners fitting aftermarket lowering springs, adjustable spring kits or coilovers.
While these upgrades can improve the vehicle's stance and handling characteristics, reducing ground clearance can also increase the likelihood of underbody components coming into contact with road debris or uneven surfaces.
The VYCE oil cooler guard provides an additional layer of protection for the exposed factory cooler, making it particularly relevant for modified G87 M2, G80 M3 and G82 M4 builds.
However, this is not an upgrade exclusively for lowered vehicles. Even a completely standard BMW M2, M3 or M4 can encounter loose stones, road debris and unexpected hazards during normal driving.
For this reason, an underbody oil cooler guard is a worthwhile consideration for both standard and modified vehicles.
The VYCE BMW G8X Oil Cooler Guard is designed to utilise the vehicle's existing OEM mounting points, allowing it to integrate with the factory underbody layout.
There is no need to develop custom mounting brackets or mounting locations.
The guard is supplied with everything required for installation, providing a convenient solution for owners and workshops looking to add protection to the factory oil cooler.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure the guard is correctly positioned and securely mounted, with appropriate clearance around surrounding components.
The VYCE Underbody Engine Oil Cooler Guard is designed for the following BMW M models:
| BMW Model | Chassis |
|---|---|
| BMW M2 Coupé | G87 |
| BMW M3 Saloon | G80 |
| BMW M3 Touring | G81 |
| BMW M4 Coupé | G82 |
| BMW M4 Convertible | G83 |
Compatible with the BMW S58-powered G8X M2, M3 and M4 platform.

R44 Performance sells parts that make cars faster, louder, sharper and better to drive. A good number of those parts change something a vehicle was originally certified with — the exhaust after the turbo, the catalytic converter, the particulate filter, the engine map, the intake, the suspension geometry, the lighting. That is the entire point of them. It is also the reason this page exists.
Whether a given part can lawfully be used on a public road depends almost entirely on where that road is. A downpipe that is a completely ordinary track-day part in one country is a criminal offence to fit to a road car in another. The same box, the same part number, two totally different legal answers. We ship worldwide, so we cannot write one rule that covers everybody — but we can be straight with you about it rather than burying a line of small print at the bottom of a checkout page.
So here is our position, in plain English:
What we cannot do is tell you what is legal on your specific vehicle, in your specific town, under your specific inspection regime, or guarantee how an individual inspector or insurer will treat a modification. Those rules differ by country, by state or province, sometimes by city, and they change. That responsibility sits with you as the owner of the vehicle — and the summaries below are there to give you a running start on it.
Pick your market for a plain-English summary. These summaries are a starting point and a prompt to go and check properly — the full legal terms are further down this page, and they are what governs your purchase.
In short: track and off-road use is not the problem. Fitting emissions or noise-affecting parts to a road-registered, MOT'd car is where UK owners get caught out.
What this means when you order from us: de-cat and decat downpipes, sports cats without approval, GPF/DPF delete pipes and the maps that go with them are supplied for off-road, track and competition use only. Non-emissions parts — most suspension, brakes, styling, cooling and interior products — are generally unaffected, but check anything that alters lighting or ride height.
In short: broadly similar to the UK in principle, but several member states are considerably stricter in practice, and Germany is the strictest of all.
What this means when you order from us: if you are in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, please talk to us before ordering exhaust, suspension or lighting parts so we can tell you what approval documentation, if any, exists for that product. For most other member states the UK guidance above is a reasonable guide, but your national test is the authority.
In short: the strictest enforcement environment we ship into, and the one where you most need to know your own state's rules before you click buy.
What this means when you order from us: we do not represent any product as EPA-compliant or CARB-compliant unless the listing explicitly says so and quotes the EO number. Everything else is supplied for off-road, race and competition use only, and by ordering you are confirming that is how it will be used. Please check the EPA's guidance on aftermarket parts and tampering, and CARB's aftermarket parts database, before you order.
In short: federal emissions rules plus a patchwork of provincial equipment, noise and inspection rules.
What this means when you order from us: treat emissions and exhaust parts as off-road and track use unless your province tells you otherwise. Check your provincial transport authority's equipment standards before fitting anything to a road car.
In short: modification rules are formalised and genuinely enforced, and both countries have a certification route for road-legal modifications.
What this means when you order from us: if you intend a part for road use, please check with a certifier or your state authority first — the certification route exists and works, but it needs to be planned before you buy, not afterwards. Otherwise, parts are supplied for track and competition use.
In short: we ship almost everywhere, and almost everywhere has its own inspection and approval regime.
What this means when you order from us: please check your national vehicle inspection authority's rules before ordering, and ask us if you are unsure what a part actually changes. See our International Shipping Terms & Conditions for the shipping side of things.

Many of the products sold on r44performance.com are designed and intended exclusively for off-road, track, competition and race use. By purchasing any performance or aftermarket part from R44 Performance, you agree and acknowledge that such products will only be used for off-road, track or competition purposes, and will not be fitted to a road-registered vehicle in any manner that breaches the laws of the country in which that vehicle is used.
Products that fall under this disclaimer include, but are not limited to:
Important: a product does not need to be explicitly labelled "off-road use only", "for race use only", "not road legal", "track use only" or "non-EPA compliant" in its description for this disclaimer to apply. This disclaimer applies to all products sold on r44performance.com that fall within the categories above, whether or not the individual product listing carries a specific compliance notice. Some listings do carry such notices; the absence of one does not imply that a product is road legal, type approved or emissions compliant in your territory.
R44 Performance is based in the United Kingdom. Many aftermarket performance parts we supply may not comply with the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, UK or EC/UNECE type approval requirements, MOT testing requirements, or national and local noise and emissions standards in the UK, the European Union or any other territory.
Under UK law it is, in general, an offence to use a vehicle on a public road if a component required for emissions control has been removed, disabled or rendered less effective, or if the vehicle no longer meets the noise or construction standards it was type approved to. Vehicles presented for an MOT with a missing or tampered catalytic converter, DPF or GPF will fail the test.
It is your sole responsibility to:
Unless a listing expressly states otherwise (for example "road legal", "E-marked", "ECE approved" or "type approved"), R44 Performance makes no representation that a product is road legal, type approved or emissions compliant in the UK, the EU, or any other territory.
Many aftermarket performance parts sold on this website do not comply with United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, the Clean Air Act, or state-level emissions standards, including but not limited to California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements.
If you are ordering from, or shipping to, the United States, it is your sole responsibility to:
R44 Performance does not guarantee that any product complies with emissions law in your state or jurisdiction unless the product listing expressly states otherwise (for example "CARB EO number issued" or "50-state legal"). Parts sold by R44 Performance are not offered or represented as EPA-compliant emissions-related replacement parts for road use in the United States.
R44 Performance does not knowingly ship emissions-defeating or off-road-only parts to countries, states or jurisdictions in which such products are unlawful, unless the customer confirms that the product is being purchased exclusively for race car, track or off-road vehicle use.
By completing a purchase, you represent and warrant that any off-road or non-compliant product will be used solely for lawful off-road, track or competition purposes. We reserve the right to refuse, cancel or refund any order at our discretion where we believe a product is intended for unlawful use, and to require written confirmation of intended use before an order is dispatched. We will not mis-describe or under-declare goods on customs paperwork under any circumstances.
You are also responsible for any import duties, taxes, customs clearance requirements and import restrictions that apply in the destination country. Please also read our International Shipping Terms & Conditions and our Shipping Policy.
Fitting aftermarket performance parts may affect or void all or part of your vehicle's manufacturer warranty, extended warranty or approved-used warranty.
In the UK and EU, block exemption rules mean a manufacturer cannot automatically void an entire warranty simply because an aftermarket part has been fitted; however, a manufacturer or dealer may refuse a claim where it believes the part contributed to the failure. In the United States, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides comparable protections, but individual dealers and manufacturers interpret warranty coverage differently.
R44 Performance is not responsible or liable for any warranty claim refused or reduced by a vehicle manufacturer, dealer or warranty provider as a result of parts purchased from us being fitted. This includes, without limitation, engine, powertrain, drivetrain, emissions system and any related warranty coverage. Our own product warranty position is set out in our Warranty Policy.
All performance and aftermarket parts should be fitted by a qualified professional technician or a competent specialist workshop, using the correct tools, torque figures and procedures. Improper installation can cause vehicle damage, component failure, fire risk, safety hazards or a voided warranty.
Fitting guides, torque figures and instructional content published by R44 Performance are provided for general guidance only and do not replace manufacturer instructions or professional judgement. R44 Performance is not liable for any damage, injury, loss or issue resulting from incorrect, incomplete or unsuitable installation, or from installation carried out by the customer or by a third party.
By purchasing performance or aftermarket parts from R44 Performance, you acknowledge, agree and represent that:
Your statutory rights. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing here affects the statutory rights of consumers under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or equivalent legislation in your country in respect of goods that are faulty, not as described or not of satisfactory quality.
R44 Performance does not accept returns, exchanges or cancellations on the basis that a customer has discovered after ordering that a product is not road legal in their country or state, will not pass an MOT or emissions inspection, is not type approved, is not CARB-compliant, or otherwise does not meet a local regulatory requirement — unless the product listing expressly stated that it was compliant and it is not.
It is your responsibility to verify all compliance requirements before purchasing, and we would much rather you asked us first. Please review our Returns & Refunds Policy for full details of when a return or cancellation can be accepted, including your statutory cancellation rights where these apply.
While we work hard to provide accurate product descriptions, fitment data and specifications, R44 Performance does not guarantee that every listing carries complete emissions or compliance information. Manufacturers also change specifications, approvals and part content without notice.
The absence of an off-road or compliance notice in a product description does not imply that a product is road legal, type approved or emissions compliant. If you are unsure whether a product may lawfully be used in your area, please contact us before ordering and we will do our best to help.
By completing a purchase on r44performance.com, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to this Off-Road & EPA Disclaimer in its entirety. This disclaimer is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Business. Continued use of this website and the completion of any order constitutes acceptance of these terms.
