Usually I put fumoto drain valves on all of my vehicles and when I looked up the drain plug for that car it was actually a metal one. I got under there and it was plastic. So I think there's a possibility that had two different drain plugs. But yes, I am in the US

thanks John, I have been using magnetic drain plugs to monitor engine health and catch any ferrous matter for years as a cheap useful mod. A great DIY for the X1. What headlight do have on?, I just got a Nitecore nu31 and am very impressed although yours looks more compact @@DIYnot1

@@Mau105 thankful I have access to an oil analysis machine so I always send all my stuff through that And biolite. They have a bunch of different levels but I chose the second teir down power-wise because it's lighter and has a smaller battery pack

Every oil filter comes with a new drain plug so it never wears out. That's my theory at least. Thanks for the compliment!

Been DIY on oil changes for over 35 years and will be helping young man do this on his car very soon. That is why I have gone to You Tube just to see the process. Plastic on a part like this is a potential problem and other manufacturers most definitely do not do this. Mann oil filters do not come with the replacement plug. I hope the 2015 X1 just has the conventional 17mm bolt... Thanks for the alert, easy enough to check and prepare... That is exactly why I did the search@@DIYnot1
