BMW Stainless Steel Magnetic Oil Drain Plug — M12x1.5

Upgrade your factory oil drain plug with our Stainless Steel Magnetic Oil Drain Plug, designed to fit most BMW engines using an M12x1.5 drain plug thread.

Updated for 2026

We've upgraded our magnetic drain plug from aluminum to high-quality stainless steel for improved strength, durability, and long-term service life. We've also added a drilled safety-wire hole, making it an excellent option for track cars, race cars, and other performance-oriented builds where additional drain plug security is desired.

Why Use a Magnetic Drain Plug?

Engine oil circulates through some of the most highly loaded components in your engine. While the oil filter captures contaminants as oil passes through it, a magnetic drain plug provides an additional line of defense by attracting and holding ferrous metallic particles that make their way into the oil pan.

The powerful high-temperature magnet can also provide valuable information about what's happening inside your engine. During an oil change, inspecting the magnet for abnormal metallic debris may provide an early warning of excessive internal wear before a larger problem develops.

It's a simple upgrade that makes every oil change another opportunity to monitor the health of your engine.

Track-Ready Safety Wire Provision

For track-oriented builds, the drain plug features a pre-drilled hole that allows the plug to be safety wired in place.

Safety wiring provides an additional mechanical means of preventing the drain plug from backing out during demanding use. It's a small detail that makes this plug equally at home on a daily-driven BMW or a dedicated race car.

Important Fitment Note

This drain plug fits most BMW engines that use an M12x1.5 oil drain plug thread, but BMW has used different drain plug sizes and oil pan designs across various engines and chassis.

Please verify that your existing oil drain plug uses an M12x1.5 thread before ordering.

A Simple Upgrade for Every Oil Change

A drain plug may be a small component, but a magnetic drain plug gives it an additional job. Every time you change your oil, you can inspect the magnet for metallic debris and get another look at what's happening inside your engine.

With stainless steel construction, a high-temperature magnet, safety-wire provision, and a new crush washer included, our updated 2026 magnetic drain plug is a simple upgrade for both street and track-driven BMWs.
