Here's an original BMW one, BUT it is for an iX, not sure if there is any difference to non-4wd versions.

Shipping costs may be pricey though

Or you could use Alloy Products on here.
Not sure about a dedicated sump guard bet he does a replacement baffled sump with extra wing (to reduce oil starvation on high g corners) with a reinforced bottom for about £85 IIRC.
Might not be what you're after but if you do a lot of track days worth considering.

Custom making one atm from some THICK steel, will get some photo's when its done. I got a sheet on steel from the local metal scrap yard. Looks like it was a milled top for some machine, but the thick bits are 5mm...
Will take some wearing out for sure. But then, my present sump guard is molded to the bottom of the sump and scraped down country roads, so its needed!
