Original BMW Engine Oil Drain Plug M16x1.5AL with Gasket Ring for BMW M2, M3, and M4 (2015–2021)

Built for the F80 M3 and F82/F83 M4, this Original BMW engine oil drain plug, part number 11-11-7-849-396, is the M16x1.5AL screw plug with gasket ring that seals the oil pan drain on the BMW M2, M3, and M4. BMW calls it a Screw Plug With Gasket Ring. The gasket ring is encapsulated on the plug, so the plug and its seal arrive as one unit. The plug weighs 8 g and is made in Germany, and BMW production of this number began in March 2014. A drain plug closes the opening at the bottom of the oil pan and comes out at every oil change to let the used oil drain.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The size designation is M16x1.5AL. Check the part number against your car's fitment before ordering. BMW assigns this number to the F80 M3 with the S55 engine, including the facelift, and to the F82 M4, F82 M4 GTS, F82 facelift, and F83 M4 Convertible. BMW shows no supersession for 11-11-7-849-396, so it remains the current number for these cars. It is sold as a single plug with the gasket ring already fitted.

Common Questions

Does this drain plug come with a sealing ring?
Yes. The gasket ring is encapsulated on the plug, so both come together in one part.

What does a failing drain plug look like?
The most common sign is oil leaking from the drain area of the oil pan. A worn gasket or stripped threads can stop the plug from sealing properly.

Which engine is this plug for?
BMW assigns it to the S55 six-cylinder used in the F80 M3 and F82/F83 M4.
