The composite engine under tray or belly pan on my 08 535 is deteriorating. This is the one that has the small "panel" you remove to drain the oil. I can't find a part #, or anything on line for the under tray. I am concerned that next oil change the small cover won't go back on (bolts/fasteners are toast) and then I have a concern about aero tearing the entire large panel off. The small panel fastener area is soggy and soft, and I can't think of a way to fix it. Ideas? Any help is appreciated.

FWIW, I have been driving without the oil drain plug cover for 3 years. There are enough fasteners on the trays, they won't go anywhere.

Yep it's not needed. Mine ripped off last year backing into a driveway and I never replaced.
