Could someone point me in the right direction please on getting a few sump washers for the z4m I have checked ebay but too many different choices around.
Is it a copper washer and what size please?

Many thanks

why don't you go to euro carparts or gsf and just buy a new oil filter for £10 it will come with a new washer

Or even better go to main dealer and pay £15 for a brand new bmw one.
They come with new rubber washers for top of oil filter cap and then a small one for the central post base and a lovely new sump washer

Or even better pay £6.62 for a Mann filter from ECP which is BMW OEM that includes all 3 washers...

Does anyone know the nut size (and type - is it a hex nut??) and the nominal tightening torque??

40% lighter than the original dump plug as well.

Good idea though with the magnets, or does ours already have them in the sump?

I should have wrote that I was thinking of buying one of these.

ok as long as you use ~25Nm as a guidance for tightening torque.
A stripped out sump can be very costly.
