nice one, but I like the one from 666 fab. Total coverage, and doesn't break the bank.

i have seen both in person, and honestly the OEM 325iX one is built stronger...it will actually take an impact and not flex, where as the 666 one is quite pliable

someone needs to create a combination of the two lol

I was going to get a 666 one... after my engine swap, of course.

Granted, the 666 model will flex a bit. I think it's built more to protect the oil pan from the occasional flying rock or piece of loose pavement. The IX model looks like it's built to ramp your car up over the odd stump or small boulder. It looks very stout, but for what I was after, it was overkill. I'm not looking to get into a pissing contest over which part is better or more durable, I was just showing the guy an alternative.
