bmpower 3 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) Does anyone have a sump plug, or even better a magnetic one for an e36, with m52 engine?? whilst doing an oil change, we put old one with new ring back on and it sheered off - we managed to get the thread out, but now i need another!! If anyone in welly has one i would be keen, cos i need it asap, otherwise it'll be a call to jeff gray bmw tomorrow and what i'm sure will be silly money for a plug!! Also out of curiosity are the plugs the same for the e30's and 36's? i'm under the assumption they are? my plug is of similar diameter to an m12 sized bolt. thanks.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Probably should buy a new one - did the old one shear from overtorquing? If so get yourself a torque wrench, gives you that much more peace of mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
