Glad my Alumalite splash guard took some of the impact, just replaced it with a Pinnacle piece.

Really want some sort of additional protection for the oil drain plug opening. Might start a fun flat bottom / extended front splitter project for the winter.

This is why I do not wish to run any drain plug that sticks out further than stock. It is way too easy break off if anything happens.

Newer BMW engines have a recessed drain plug with a flat cover over it. This may be unique for the M3 because the size of the V8 necessitates a oil pan that hangs low.

The AGA tool seems to be much more compact, but at much more cost.

OEM plug is completely flush with the oil pan as BMW designed it that way.

Seems like they have a DIY verison: https://agatools.com/collections/cle...42466662711537
