Protect your BMW’s vulnerable underbody components from costly damage with our new Aluminum Skid Plate Kit, an exclusive design for BMW F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, and F36 xDrive models.

From factory, BMW F3X cars are equipped with a fabric undertray. This flexible piece can't withstand the rigors of daily driving, leaving critical parts like the engine oil pan and core support exposed to damage from potholes, speed bumps, and road debris. Upgrade your underbody protection with our durable aluminum skid plate, engineered for superior performance, lasting durability, and improved airflow.

Features & Benefits:

Made from lightweight yet robust 8GA (3.3mm) 5052 aluminum, providing unparalleled underbody protection without adding excessive weight over the front axle. Features a durable one-piece design that ensures strength and resilience against impacts while also replacing the flimsy OEM undertray. High-quality milled aluminum finish for a seamless look that integrates perfectly with your BMW’s underbody components. Optimizes performance by maintaining factory aerodynamics while improving ground clearance and airflow. Includes all necessary mounting hardware for a straightforward installation. Made in the USA! Product Development: In the development stages of this project, our R&D team employed state-of-the-art tools, including FARO laser scanning, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, and extensive long-term testing, to create a skid plate that delivers exceptional protection and reliability. This skid plate isn't just an upgrade—it’s a statement of quality and innovation.

Installation: To ensure seamless installation, we've provided an easy-to-follow, step-by-step installation guide. CLICK HERE to view our detailed installation PDF!

Our renowned TMS adjustable front sway bar / swaybar links for BMWs are now available in custom lengths, making them easy to order for any aftermarket or custom suspension setups. Simply measure for your ideal link length, and order the links with the best length range (below). Each sway bar link has a 10mm diameter mounting pin/stud, which is the typical factory/stock size for a universal fitment. These are sold by the pair, and each set includes two matching sway bar end links.

These end links offer the quiet operation and long life of "stock" BMW end links, but with the strength and adjustability of rod-end style sway bar links. These sway bar links can be used on a wide variety of BMWs and aftermarket BMW suspensions. When measuring, please consider that the length ranges of our Custom Adjustable end links are measured from the center to center on the end link mounting stud / pin, as shown in our diagram.

Note for E9X M3: the unique mounting on the M3 strut requires a set of our adapter seats (#TSU9912AF9). You can add them with your links from the menu below.

We have always loved BMWs, but one of their shortcomings has always been shifter throw and feel. Even driving your new BMW ///M home from the dealership, you might realize that the shifter throw leaves something to be desired when you find your right hand in your backseat when shifting into fourth gear. Things only go downhill from here, as these cars increase in age and mileage shifts feel less and less precise. Our short shifter offers 32 to 40% reduction in throw over stock. Note that this short shifter differs from our typical Turner short shifter in that it is solely height adjustable, not throw.

Note that we did notice some resonance when testing on vehicles with factory base model shift knobs (25117596084 or 25117596086, etc). We recommend running ZHP, M, or M Performance to both avoid this and give your shifts the best feel.

GFB’s DV+ solution couldn’t be simpler - keep what works and replace what doesn’t.

Worldwide Patent and Design Patent Pending

• Retains the factory solenoid coil for seamless integration
• Replaces plastic valve parts with metal for reliability and strength on chipped engines
• Direct-fit replacement with GFB’s TMS benefits
• Exclusive “pilot-actuated” valve mechanism for rapid response at high boost

GFB expands the DV+ range with a direct-fit solution for the weak factory diverter valve used on many European vehicles.

The solenoid coil itself from the factory-fitted valve is great (the ECU opens it faster than any pneumatic valve so why replace it?), but the weak point however is the valve mechanism itself. So GFB’s DV+ solves this problem by replacing just the valve parts with an anodised billet aluminium housing fitted with a brass piston machined to exacting tolerances.

The end result is sharper throttle response, lightning-fast valve actuation, and it will hold as much boost as you can throw at it. Read all about the DV+ story on the next page.

Other manufacturers’ products involve replacing the entire system with a traditional pneumatic valve, requiring long vacuum hose runs, additional parts for tapping into the intake manifold vacuum, plus either a different solenoid valve to actuate the pneumatic valve or a ballast resistor to plug into the OE wiring loom. All these additional items result in a product that is slower, less responsive, more expensive and takes much longer to install.

GFB’s DV+ solution on the other hand is more responsive, less expensive, easier to install, and doesn’t cause compressor surge/turbo flutter. Oh, and it doesn’t require different springs or frequent re-builds.

Many late-model European cars use ECU controlled solenoid-type diverter valves. This is a good concept because the valve can react very quickly and it only opens when it needs to.

However, there are some problems with these valves. There are typically two types of solenoid-actuated diverter valves found standard on VAG and European cars, both of which have their shortcomings.

Common OE Problem #1
The diaphragm types are commonly known to rupture, especially when boost and temperature are increased as a result of chip tuning.

Common OE Problem #2
The plastic piston-type leaks far more than most people realise (by design, not from wear), and doesn’t always close after a high-boost gear shift.

Additionally, in both cases, the solenoid on the OE diverter is directly connected to the valve mechanism, which is not ideal because neither it nor the return spring are strong enough to open and close the valve reliably at high boost.

With problems like this, you can see why other aftermarket manufacturers assume the best solution is to replace the factory diverter entirely. Unfortunately though, whilst their replacement kits might be stronger than the factory diverter, their slower response speed and lower flow do not justify the extra cost and complexity - more of a compromise than a solution.

GFB has taken a different approach to deliver a complete solution that solves existing problems and improves performance, without compromise or a hefty price tag.

The DV+ addresses the factory valve problems with a very simple and elegant solution. Keeping the factory solenoid retains all the benefits of the stock system, and replacing the valve parts with indestructable metal components ensures strength and reliability no matter how much boost you run.

That's not all. Rather than using the solenoid to directly actuate the valve, we’ve introduced a unique “pilot-actuation” system. This means the solenoid controls the air pressure that is used to open and close the piston, so it doesn't matter how much boost you push through it, the DV+ will open and close reliably without ever exceeding the solenoid’s capability.

This feature also improves on the factory system by opening the valve progressively in response to boost pressure, so it only opens as much as required to get the job done (the factory valve simply opens and shuts, it cannot partially open if boost pressure is low), resulting in better throttle response.
