ECS "Wagen" Skid Plate
I'm wondering a few things about it though. It's claimed to be approx. 30lb, so how much heavier is that than the belly pan that is on the car stock? Is there anything I should keep in mind about a skid plate, like downsides to having one, or issues that may arise from it? Thanks for your time and insight!

Don't know anything about it, but thought I'd post photos and link in case anyone else wants to weigh in.

FYI... this doesn't replace the existing alloy (or steel) reinforcing plate under the engine - it only replaces the plastic splash guard directly behind the bumper.

That E53 has a story! They used it on their YT channel as a "winter beater" and took it offroading and such.

Weird, I can't find the yt channel for that company, any obvious search doesn't give me results

Ain't that the truth.
I'm looking for something to resto-mod and put my 4.4 M63 into after I rebuild it, but the used prices of just about any earlier BMW sedan without a lot of rust have gone up significantly. And forget about an E36 M3 or the like.
