In your particular situation, they might be fine with you removing them.
The problem is happening on main roads with some pot holes and a few stones, not gravel tracks or back roads. I have an ongoing issue with BMW to try to get the problem resolved on my car. Removing the shields may be the outcome, without voiding the warranty.

Thanks for your input.
