BMW oil drain plug repair on a 2010 528i xdrive
When I bought my 2010 528ixdrive, some one had stripped the drain plug, the cost to replace the pan would have been over $1500 and a very labor intensive job. Using the Time Sert for this application was a breeze, everything you need is in the kit. I was very nervous but as I went through the steps I became more confident, the job took about 1/2 hour no leaks and I used the factory drain plug I would highly recommend this kit now I have metal threads instead of aluminum. I did 2 oil changes and no problem.

Time Sert 1215c aluminum oil pan drain thread repair m12x1.5
Do my own oil changes, conducted a recent oil change on my 2012 bmw x5 35d with 140k, after the change noticed an oil leak on the driveway, of course I went to panic mode and starting thinking about the cost. I did some research and found your product and others who used it with excellent results. Your product worked perfectly, the bits are very sharp and well made! I highly recommend your product for this similar issue. Jim
