The factory BMW DCT plastic oil pan was never designed with the track in mind. The MMX Performance Aluminum DCT Oil Pan addresses that directly — engineered and manufactured in the UK following extensive real-world testing, this is a purpose-built upgrade for enthusiasts who demand more from their transmission under sustained, high-performance driving conditions.
Precision machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, the MMX pan replaces the OEM plastic sump with a structurally superior solution built to last. Fluid capacity increases by up to 1.4 liters (1.48 quarts) over stock, delivering greater thermal stability and improved lubrication under the kind of sustained load that pushes factory components to their limits. Aggressively machined external cooling fins maximize surface area for enhanced heat dissipation, keeping transmission temperatures in check whether you're pushing hard on a fast road or logging laps on track.
Internally, an integrated baffling system controls fluid movement to eliminate oil starvation during high lateral and longitudinal forces — ensuring consistent oil pickup and stable hydraulic pressure where it matters most: DCT clutch operation and long-term gearbox reliability.
Installation is clean and straightforward. Unlike alternative aftermarket solutions that rely on sealant, the MMX pan ships with an OEM-specification gasket for a direct, no-mess fit. It retains full compatibility with the factory BMW DCT filter system and reuses the OEM magnet, keeping your setup simple without compromise.
For those building for the track or running high-output applications, three integrated -8AN ports open the door to external oil cooling circuits or temperature monitoring sensors — making this one of the most adaptable DCT oil pan solutions on the market. Available in black or clear anodized finishes for a refined, corrosion-resistant OEM+ look under the car.
