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

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

completed oil change on '15 X1, it had a 17mm regular metal drain plug, which is what I had hoped would be there. No idea about the plastic variant...
Hello have you measured how much oil is drained out ?
Nice tutorial

The oil filter housing is size 86mm
All those universal wrenches and straps don’t work. Take it from me
helped a young man with his oil change on '15 X1, it had a regular 17mm drain plug. Never saw a plastic one before. Very strange. US spec?

very odd oil drain plug, seems cheap needing T10 for the plastic plug, I think they did away with this, excellent DIY
Every oil filter comes with a new drain plug so it never wears out. That's my theory at least.
Thanks for the compliment!
