Protect Your 2025+ BMW G90/G99 M5 with the MAD Aluminum Skid Plate
Aug 3rd 2026
The 2025+ BMW G90 and G99 M5 are built to perform at an incredibly high level, combining the latest S68 twin-turbo V8 with cutting-edge chassis technology. While the drivetrain is engineered for serious performance, one critical component underneath the vehicle remains surprisingly exposed—the factory oil cooler.
To help protect this vulnerable area, we've developed the MAD Aluminum Skid Plate, a direct replacement for the factory plastic underbody panel that provides significantly greater impact resistance where it matters most.
Protect One of the Most Vulnerable Components
The oil cooler is essential for maintaining proper engine temperatures during spirited driving and demanding conditions. Because it's mounted low at the front of the vehicle, it's constantly exposed to whatever the road throws at it.
Common hazards include:
- Rocks and loose debris
- Broken pavement
- Deep potholes
- Road construction materials
- Steep driveway entrances
- Unexpected underbody impacts
While the factory plastic panel offers basic coverage, it isn't designed to withstand harder impacts that can threaten the oil cooler behind it.
Replace Plastic with Real Protection
The MAD Skid Plate is constructed from 3mm-thick aluminum, providing a substantial upgrade in strength over the original plastic panel.
Designed specifically for the G90 and G99 M5, it creates a rigid protective barrier beneath the oil cooler without compromising the vehicle's factory fitment.
The result is increased confidence every time you drive—whether you're commuting through the city or enjoying your favorite back roads.
Engineered Specifically for the G90 Platform
Unlike generic skid plates, the MAD Aluminum Skid Plate is developed exclusively for the latest M5 platform.
Its vehicle-specific design ensures:
- Precise OEM-style fitment
- Excellent coverage of the factory oil cooler
- Seamless integration with the underbody
- Reliable long-term durability
This isn't an adapted universal solution—it's built specifically for the G90/G99 chassis.
Built for Daily Driving and High-Performance Use
Performance cars often encounter situations where extra protection becomes invaluable. Lower ride heights, uneven pavement, and unpredictable road conditions can all increase the risk of underbody contact.
Whether your M5 is completely stock or part of a larger performance build, the MAD Skid Plate helps protect one of the most expensive cooling components beneath the vehicle.
It's an upgrade designed to prevent problems before they happen.
