Hey everyone! My 25' M240i xDrive is arriving in about a month and I have a question about the ZTK package.

I had read some threads about previous year's M240i's with the exposed oil cooler with the ZTK package equipped, and the importance of having a skid plate installed. Can anyone confirm if the 2025 package finally has it hidden on the U.S. spec cars, or if I should still plan on ordering a skid plate to install upon delivery?

Thank you!!

It's still exposed.

disappointing. there was a text a few weeks ago with a photo reporting and showing Blue 2025 M340i with an unexposed cooler that was supposedly a factory skid plate.

Just last night we had our first official confirmation of the exposed cooler. I ordered my Turner skid plate.

Had a vw with a plastic exposed oil pan.... was too much of a worry hanging over my head to leave it that way.

Yep. My 2015 Mk7 Golf R had that. 🤦‍♂️

Hehe, I also had a 2015 R, first white one sold in the US.

So you must remember when Adam (new Hampshire fellow) hit the frost heave and drained his engine instantly.

I had a mk7.5 gti after that, such fun cars but I'm really looking forward to my 240!

I do remember. Mine was an APR Stage 3+. Took APR a year to get my car running right. Once they did, man it was quick. 473 AWHP or about 530 Crank.
