This part is available from US part suppliers. Best price seems to be from Tischer: GETBMWPARTS.COM
Great find. I wonder if heat is only a concern with the 6 cylinder engines and not with the I4s.

The 1 series shield definitely does not fit the X1. I purchased the 1 series part for my 2012 135i. They still make the part, so I'm pretty sure its just a cost savings measure rather than for heat issues. I've had no problems with the one I installed on the 135i:

I'm worried about the X1 shield part number as it does show something different on realoem. Has anyone ordered it yet?
