Professional install recommended

Just got the email that mine is shipped. Insurance is a good thing. A lot cheaper than the possible damage that could happen!

morgan302 · 10-15-2015, 10:41 AM

Finished installing today. Very easy install. The directions were very clear expect for page 10 the red circles show the nuts and not the clips that need to be changed! Thanks for a well made and thought out part

How long should it take a professional to install this?

Thanks Cat, had mine installed yesterday. I would say this is an hour long job at the most for a professional. If you're trying to DIY, on ramps, I could see it taking 1.5hrs

Awesome!! I've seen it range between techs, which is why we quote on the higher end.

Dumb question on these. Wish similar existed for e92. Why are those blocks called "parking blocks"? Is it because they take the damage first when you park and pull too far up? (no, right)

They're mounted to each side of the oil cooler, likely to do just that. The parts catalog calls them "Damper for curb descent".

Bringing this back from the dead... can we fit this with the M4 CS? The lip may get in the way

Found this thread after searching compatibility with a CS lip as well. Anyone have some insight?

It needs to be modified to fit with the OEM CS Carbon Lip.

I have one available that's on my car that will be coming off soon. It's the Fall Line Oil Cooler Guard that has been modified by EAS to fit an OEM CS Lip. The shop charged me $125 to modify it properly.

Is it completely plug and play for the CS lip without having to leave out any screws or brackets? Is it in good shape as well? If so I would love to buy that off you if the price is right!

JAI///M3 · 05-19-2022, 02:06 PM

Thanks for confirming. I'm running the CS brackets as well so that just adds to the fitment issue I'm sure.

Yes, completely plug and play. It's in excellent condition. Built very beefy. Just normal wear/scrapes.

I paid 850 for the Fall Line Oil Cooler Guard + 125 to have it modified. Not including the expensive shipping from iND.

Not sure about shipping this thing though. It's pretty heavy and large.

Only the center CS bracket/support is in the way. Once that is modified, it fits like a glove.
