R50 Transmission Drain Plug Size

Hey all

I'm looking to replace my transmission drain plug with a magnetic one and was wondering if anyone could let me know what size it was the manual R50?

Thanks

Make sure you get the right size.
That one (18 x 1.5) won't fit an R50.
I believe this one (16 x 1.5) is the one for an R50 manual transmission
(I know it's listed as an oil plug, but the dimple.uk site confirms that
18x1.5 is for the 6 speed MINIs, and this 16x1.5 is for the 5 speed ones):
