THE NEXT GENERATION OF OIL COOLER PROTECTION.

Introducing the CenCal Motorsport APEX Oil Cooler Guard, our proprietary, in-house designed solution for protecting the factory oil cooler on BMW F8X M3 and M4 models.

Unlike conventional open-design oil cooler guards that leave exposed pathways for rocks and debris, our APEX system features four strategically angled airflow ducts. This innovative design helps direct airflow while creating a more complete protective barrier against road hazards.

Manufactured from durable aluminum and finished in premium wrinkle black, the APEX Oil Cooler Guard delivers enhanced protection, precision fitment, and a clean motorsport-inspired appearance.
