The cooler is indeed susceptible to damage from road debris given where it is located.

A while back someone on here damaged the cooler and needed a new engine. I believe it was covered by his auto insurance but I don’t remember the details.

At a minimum, you can avoid a major headache by installing this.
It’s interesting that BMW would allow a design flaw like this to continue for so many years and not offer some type of protection for it themselves. Of the thousands of miles I drive every year upwards of 50,000 miles a year I run over crap all the time that hits the bottom of the car. I mean it’s not an every day occurrence, but I would say once every 4000 miles. Now all I need is to hit the right thing and have it hit that spot and at the very least it’s going to bend some stuff on it.
