Rated at 8 Nm plus 90 degrees, the Original BMW M8x36 Torx screw, part 11-13-7-559-537, fastens the engine oil pan on BMW 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5, and X6 models from 2006–2021. BMW calls it a Torx screw with the designation M8X36-AL. Each one weighs 7 g and is sold individually. It is made in Germany, and BMW has produced it since October 2005.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW's parts data ties this screw to the N51, N52, N52N, N53, N54, and N55 six-cylinder engines and to the S55 used in the F80 M3, F82 M4, and F87 M2 Competition. On the E90 generation the pattern is narrow. BMW assigns it to the all-wheel-drive 325xi, 328xi, 330xi, and 335xi and to the N55 335i, not to every rear-drive sedan, so confirm drivetrain and engine before ordering. Oil pan bolts are spread around the pan flange and clamp the pan and its gasket to the engine block.
