United-States R56 magnetic oil drain plugs

I wonder if any of any of you UK or eureopean R56 new owners have thought of changing your OEM oil drain plug to a magnetic type. I want to change mine out as soon as I do my first intermediate oil change (between run in and first dealer oil change) It would be nice to have the metric size known so it could be matched up with available types. I am a firm believer in these little gems. Takes the magnetic crud load off the main filter so it can do its job more efficient. (Cheap long term insurance). Any thoughts ??
