Actually I have not installed it yet in my 135i. I will probably change the oil soon and install it. Waiting for a nice warm day to drive the car from its winter sleeping mode.
I just installed the Dimple magnet in my e39. So, since thats my DD and racking up the kms (now over 332K kms) I will be giving it a good test.
These Dimple magnets are
MUCH stronger than the UUC one(s). Also on my UUC plug the paint is starting to flake off and it looks not so nice. But the main reason, is that these Dimple magnets are so much stronger. I'd say easily ten times stronger than the UUC plug. When you put the drain plug(Dimple) on a metal surface you really have to struggle to pull it off! With the UUC its not as strong. You just get a soft "click".
I saw a picture of a small sledge hammer being held by the Dimple magnet. It's THAT strong!
I will be sure to update this thread with some pics soon. Here are some from Dimple's website...
