Sump bolt

[Edmund Kean]

Until I get to Halfords I've a limited amount of torx bits (all on the small side). I would like to drop the oil out and am anticipating quite a sizeable torx fitting for the sump bolt. Can someone tell me the size please?

Thanks in advance.

On mine it's a 10mm Allen bolt

T50 Torx for the sump.

Two opposing answers. I'm inclined to believe it's going to be a torx, anyone else confirm please.

....and remember to get a torque wrench and apply to 42nm for the plug, and 11nm for the filter if you change that.
The local BMW dealer here doesn't replace sump plug washers with new ones.....but I do and would advise it.
