Need a new oil pan will this one work?

So the oil pan drain plug is stripped out, as in it will not tighten or loosen so I think I will need to replace the oil pan to fix this. Wanted to know if this one would work.

Considering realoem lists a new BMW pan for $568, I would not use anything this cheap.

Great time to do new pan gasket and rod bearings.

Buy all genuine bmw or OE. Can upgrade to coated bearings if you're more heavily modified for stress free sleep. Dunno what the N55 can be spun up to safely engine speed wise.

Why would the oem one be any better ?

Careful, I bought a new $100 oil pan off eBay for n54. And after installing it and putting engine back in car I realized it didn't have the bolt holes for the ps pump. Stupid on my part. It fit so I never looked. It was listed as n54 but was for a n52. Had to pull it off and buy a used oem off ebay
