Mystery missing piece

I'm sure this is really obvious and I look silly for asking, but I recently acquired a 1990 325i convertible (auto). I was taking a look around underneath and saw this on the transmission case.



I'm assuming there should be something covering this up, but haven't even been able to find a part name.

If anyone can help tell me what is supposed to be there, why it might be missing and what potential damage has been done driving like that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

BTW this is my first experience working on BMW. All my previous experience has been with Volvo's. I'm looking forward to branching out a bit.

The missing part is a grill (I've only seen plastic) that clips in. Lets air through, keeps stones out.

Hi K! It was. Looks like we've fixed another one!
