BMW E90/E92/E93 M3 Upgraded Billet Aluminum DCT Transmission Pan – S65 4.0L V8 | Enhanced Cooling, Strength & Long-Term Reliability Upgrade

Give your S65-powered M3 the reliability it deserves with the BAVMODS® Billet Aluminum DCT Transmission Pan, designed specifically for E9X M3 models equipped with the 7-speed Getrag dual-clutch transmission.

The stock plastic DCT pan is one of the most overlooked weaknesses on these cars — it’s prone to warping and developing micro-leaks after repeated heat cycles, especially on cars that see track time, spirited canyon runs, or high-temperature climates. Once it warps, fluid seepage and pressure loss can follow, impacting both shift quality and DCT longevity.

This CNC-machined billet aluminum upgrade solves that permanently. Built for high-heat endurance, it resists deformation under thermal load, improves cooling through its rigid structure, and maintains a perfect fluid seal — even under extreme track conditions. The result is smoother, sharper, and more consistent gear engagement every time you drive.

For the high-revving, precision-built S65, transmission health is everything. With the BAVMODS® Billet DCT Pan, you’re giving your M3 the same race-grade confidence its engine was engineered to deliver.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision Billet Aluminum Design – Prevents warping and leaks caused by factory plastic deformation.
• Improved Thermal Control – Optimized cooling surface helps stabilize DCT fluid temperatures during extended spirited driving.
• Enhanced Sealing Integrity – Perfectly machined surface maintains a long-lasting, leak-free fit.
• Direct Bolt-On Fitment – Installs using factory filter, gasket, and mounting hardware.
• OEM+ Appearance – Subtle, performance-oriented finish that complements underbody hardware.
• Track-Tested Strength – Proven in high-heat and high-load environments.
• Performance You Can Feel

Expect crisper gear changes, reduced transmission temps, and more consistent shift behavior under aggressive driving. The increased rigidity of the billet design minimizes flex during high-pressure shifts, giving your DCT the mechanical stability it needs to deliver precision engagement every time.

Why It Matters

The S65 V8 is one of BMW’s most celebrated engines — but its supporting systems need to match that engineering pedigree. The BAVMODS® Billet Aluminum DCT Transmission Pan ensures your M3’s drivetrain can handle the heat, torque, and demands of modern performance driving without compromise. It’s more than an upgrade — it’s long-term protection for one of BMW’s most iconic machines.
