That's a transmission oil cooler not engine oil cooler. I removed the plate about 4 years ago from my car. DCT doesn't have it.
It's sort of a pain to remove (need to remove bumper partially).

More air making it into the wheelwell means less downforce/more lift. I don't believe there is a thermostat on that tranny oil circuit either, so it could overcool the oil

BMW M must have had a good reason to put it there, otherwise it wouldn't have been there in the first place. Why take it off if you aren't having any problems with an over heating transmission?
