"Dimple" magnetic drain plugs
#1
Came across a topic regarding "Dimple" brand magnetic drain plugs, and thought that having a magnetic drain plug that was 1435x as strong as the OEM plug might not be a bad idea for both the engine oil and the final drive oil drain plugs. I have had small amounts of magnetic filings stuck to both drain plugs on the RS, and a stronger magnet would be able to pull finer particles than a weaker magnet. The cleaner your oil (especially with longer service intervals) the better the lubrication and the longer your lubricated components will last. If you intend to keep the bike for a long time (as I do) then this is cheap insurance.

At Beemer Boneyard these are:
Oil Drain Plug - BB11118530317, 20 x 1.5 mm - $29.95
Final Drive Drain Plug - BB33117705854M, 12 x 1 mm - $29.95

The prices are not too bad too, since the BMW parts are $21.64 and $20.67, respectively (MAX BMW).

There are only 4 reviews on Amazon (3 x 5 star and 1 x 1 star for customer response in 2015) where the product is presently not available. More reviews on Google.

Thoughts on this product? Any experience with them?

I pulled the plug Big Grin and ordered both of these in time for my next oil changes.
