Sump protector

[Engineer]

I want to remove the sump protector (bash) plate when cleaning the bike.

Do I simply remove the 3 nuts and 1 bolt?
Is there anything to watch out for?

Yes and yes.


Watch out for twisting the rubber mounts when you put it back on.

Thanks for that - I'm new to BMW ownership - lots to learn!

Don't overtighten them - the small bolt is 8nm and the other 3 are 19nm
