Looking to buy a Motion Motorsports Underpanel
Used or new (must come with hardware)
Thanks
You might be able to buy one new, despite Motion Motorsports being slow to respond to emails, following a purchase. My impression is that unless you buy something off their website, they won't respond to your emails. You could also physically go to their shop if you're local.
Or, you could buy the SSi kit from Bimmerworld and get it right away. Best one on the market in my opinion, and they have been making them since 2006 for cars all over the world.

I looked at product detail on bimmerworld and I didn't a good understanding of how the panel mounts:

If the panel mounts on stand-offs that connect to the frame in the same way the factory under tray mounts, that's a huge disappointment because of how time consuming it is to remove the factory tray. I never understood why mounting to the inside of the bottom of the front bumper wasn't sufficiently stiff for BMW and why they wanted the redundancy of mounting indirectly to the frame.
Mounting to the inside of the front bumper makes sense. If all of your nuts and bolts get loose and fall out, the tray is trapped above the front bumper, so it doesn't fall off into the street, highway, etc.
The SSi panel is made of plastic (ABS? Acrylic?) so it won't corrode like the aluminum Motion Motorsports tray, although if I owned the Motion tray I would pay to get it anodized to prevent this. Unless an acrylic plastic or the like is used, the tray lacks the stiffness of the aluminum tray, although the plastic tray is probably lighter, which is good for MPG and reducing weight forward of the front wheels.
Maybe you could post photos of your SSi panel install?
