Cleaning out a drawer I found one of these Dimple Magnetic Drain Plugs that fits 2007 on, 2nd and 3rd Gen MINIs. This drain plug is equipped with a 3/8" diameter high-temperature magnet for unmatched performance under all temperature extremes. All magnets are not created equal Dimple® magnets are manufactured under contract to ensure that they are always what we say they are, the strongest high temperature grade neodymium magnets in the world Regular neodymium magnets lose magnetism at only 175 degrees Fahrenheit. Dimple's® Black Hole High Temperature Magnets are rated at over 300 degrees. Our products will work for your lifetime and beyond. Our magnets degrade only 1/2 of 1% every one hundred years!

Pretty sure I’ll need one of those... unless mine already has it. Should know on Monday when I pick it up.
