The drain plug should be replaced anytime it is removed. If you are doing an oil change, it best to order a new drain plug ahead of time in case it strips on removal.
This is a must-have for ALL BMWs, and simply installs in place of your existing drain plug. With every oil change you perform on your BMW, you'll be able to inspect for metal shavings and debris. Many times, if something is going wrong on your BMW's engine, the magnetic drain plug can give you an early warning. Our championship race team uses this info all the time (Ever find a piece of a valve spring in your oil? We have!) Be sure to get one now, and make the swap next oil change!
