KMP G8X M2 / M3 / M4 Driveshaft Heatshields

KMP’s Vantrex Heat Shields were engineered to protect the factory driveshafts near the differential from excessive radiant heat produced by the exhaust system.

On modified BMW M vehicles, particularly those that have been lowered or fitted with aftermarket exhaust systems, heat damage to the driveshaft boots has become a common issue. During spirited driving or track use, high temperatures build up in the differential area, causing the axle boots to lose their structural integrity. This can lead to grease leakage, loss of lubrication, and eventual joint failure.

In some cases, the overall differential temperature also rises to the point of triggering the warning message “Differential oil temperature too high,” which may result in differential damage.

Tested extensively under the most demanding conditions at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, KMP’s Vantrex Heat Shields demonstrated a temperature reduction of nearly 90°C.

Each heat shield is crafted from high-quality aluminum, finished with a durable powder coating, and features an additional aluminum dome plate designed to optimize heat dissipation.
