Note aftermarket manuals (e.g., Haynes, Chilton, etc.) are often rife with errors.
Just wouldn’t be right to give a BMW pilot faulty intel on MBWorld.
Have been twisting wrenches for a while, but don’t recall using a torque wrench on a drain plug.
Probably just dumb luck none have ever stripped, leaked or vibrated loose.
FWIW, MB specifies 30 Nm for the M112’s drain plug:
