KMP / Vantrex Differential Heat Shields – BMW G8X M2 M3 M4
The KMP/Vantrex Heat Shields are designed to protect the factory drive shafts at the differential from the extreme radiant heat generated by the exhaust system. On modified BMW M cars – especially those running aftermarket exhausts and lowered suspension – this heat exposure often leads to damaged CV boots, leaking grease, and premature joint failure.
By shielding the driveshaft boots and differential housing, these heat shields dramatically improve reliability under high-load conditions such as track days, spirited driving, and endurance use.
Why Upgrade?
-
OEM Weakness: Factory driveshaft boots and grease degrade rapidly under high exhaust and diff temperatures
