gearbox drain-plug hex-socket size please?

I presume it's a Getrag 260 as I have a 1989 325iC

I can guestimate it, but would rather know

I can't see this in the wiki anywhere.

Thanks!

17mm

Fantastic - that matches my plastic ruler by-eye measurement lying under the car

Thanks!

Thank you again - and to help anyone else, I bought a £4.60 delivered

Laser 1575 Hex Drain Plug Key

which is 17mm one end, and 14mm the other.

It is well-made, to the point that no dings/marks have appeared from me using it to remove both gearbox plugs, and it only fits halfway-in, if you see what I mean, and the plugs were in tight.
