Chances are if you snag that tiny valve then you're probably smashing your oil pan as well.

My only concern with installing this type of valve is the clearance between it when installed and the engine belly pan cover. I looked at the drawing of the oil pan on the 325xi and it looks like the drain plug screws into the pan from the bottom like the 325i does. You should make sure the valve body will not interfere with the belly pan before you buy it.
Also, it will probably double the length of the drain time. |
