Alpha Competition offers high-quality magnetic drain plugs designed specifically for various BMW models. These components serve a critical role in preventative maintenance, potentially extending engine life and reducing the risk of internal wear.

A standard oil drain plug is replaced with Alpha Competition’s magnetic variant during an oil change. The key feature lies within the base of the plug – a powerful magnet that attracts and traps ferrous metal particles circulating in the engine oil. These microscopic particles are a by product of normal engine wear and tear caused by friction between components.

By capturing metallic debris, the magnet within the drain plug prevents these particles from re-entering engine oil circulation. This minimizes the potential for further wear and tear on vital internal components, promoting engine longevity.

A significant amount of metallic shavings adhering to the drain plug magnet during oil changes can serve as an early warning sign of potential engine wear. This allows for proactive diagnosis and repair, potentially saving on future maintenance costs.

Magnetic drain plugs represent a relatively inexpensive investment compared to the potential cost of major engine repairs. They are reusable and require minimal upkeep beyond cleaning the magnet during routine oil changes.

Ensure you select the Alpha Competition magnetic drain plug designed for your specific BMW model and engine type to guarantee proper fitment.

Magnetic drain plugs do not extend oil change intervals as established by your BMW’s manufacturer. Following the recommended oil change schedule is crucial for optimal engine health and performance.

While Alpha Competition utilizes high-strength magnets, it is important to acknowledge that extremely small metallic particles may not be captured.

APPLICATIONS:

This will fit all differentials that use a thread of M22x1.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Brand

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

  • Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content.  Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
  • Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
  • Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
  • Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
