Mine is the biggest pain in the ****. I had a train horn pushing it down so had a part missing. That part turned into half of it missing. Just siliconed/screwed plexiglass in there last week and it flew right off as soon as triple digits were hit. I dont know what to do as this part is too short for oem e63 bumper as well.

i have the front two encapsilators on mine. I took the one that covers the tranny pan off. It kept on making vibrations/noises after i installed my long tubes where the two brackets are farthest from the front.

Quote: Does the W211 or E55 have the optional metal under trays?

I bought one for my W124 from the dealer. Saved my oil pan on more than one occasion!
Quote: I don't ever recall hearing or seeing a metal underbelly tray that is available.

Alextaylor29, your pretty lucky. I heard of guys hitting tire carcasses end tearing up their car's oil cooler.
And their not a cheap fix either, as your car need to be flat bedded to a repair shop.

confirmation that it exists! Lets see if we can track down a part number...

I just checked epc and there are 3 versions of the "protective plate" vs just "covering" which is for us cars. I'm not sure which would be the correct one, but they do look to be available.

Here is what I found out, and this is for an E55 (mine is a 2006).
# 10 = 211 520 15 22 (this is the new number)
# 60 = 211 524 26 30
# 200 = 211 524 28 30
According to my source, there is no "metal" piece for the E55

I wish these covered the pipes right after the cats... caught a plastic bag right behind the cat on the drivers side last night. Gotta love the smell of burning plastic.

Removed all three pans and hardware from my car and won't put them back on as long as I own it. Don't want them trapping heat and they are a pain to R&R every time working under the car. You get a little more engine noise with them off, but that's OK with me.

Quote: I am missing the one below my tranny and EVERY time it gets wet in the car wash the car goes nuts. Think Benz didn't design that area to get sprayed.

Lots of guys run with no plastic under there at all, I just disagree.

Gotta have some protection at least.
Mine was in pretty poor shape too. If you have a fair majority of it left, just get some fiberglass and resin and it's an easy repair...
