I have read that to help possibly prevent the sump issues, that you can remove some shielding around the sump. Mine is a 2012 (done 15,000 miles) but it does not appear to have anything that can be removed in the attached picture. Was this only on earlier models? Looking at it's condition (probably hard to tell from the pic) should i be aiming to get BMW to replace it at the 18,000 mile service?
