Torx Driver Oil Drain Plug GT

Anyone know where I can buy the M24 Torx bit for the oil drain plug?
I've searched all over with no success.

Thanks,

Peter
 
EMSimon, are you sure it is a T-24 size? I don't think it exists, only a T-25, T-30, T-35, T-40, T-45, T-50 or T-55 size are on BMW motorcycles. Regardless, you can go to Sears or Amazon to get anything you need.

I wasn't asking and the OP said M24. I have not seen a T-24 either. Just came back from Home Depot and they have all the Torx bit sizes you can think of.

My bike has a 24 mm hex like nut for drain plug. If you have a torx female, I am sure it is larger that size 24. I wish mine was a female allen type. The hex, you have to be very careful to make sure the socked is square before loosening or tightening.
 
"24" has to be a typo, or it's some other type of head (Jack Bauer?). I've looked at Sears, Snap-On, and Home Despot, and no T24 bits.

Maybe there's just a buildup of crapitation on the inside of the socket...? Solvent and a pick... Or maybe the OP is actually incorrect in that it's not a Torx, but an abused Allen.

There are indeed oddball sizes available (T6, 8, 27, 47, 55; and external sockets in T12, 14, 16, 22, and 34; and mini-Torx for electronics), but I don't think we use them.
