Brass bleed screw upgrade

Has anyone done this for the E90 cooling system? I see the part is available on OEMbimmerparts but not for the E90.

E90 p/n is 11 53 7 793 373 and it is an M10x1 pitch I believe threaded plug. I'm sure if you look you will find one that fits the e90 as I think they've kept this part mostly the same, if not identical throughout the years.

Edit: Here is one offered from Turner https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-2...lication-list/

Probably cheap insurance to get one ($6), but I've never had a problem with my e36 which is almost 20 years old. When I last did the cooling system on it, I did not replace this part so no telling how old it truly is. I didn't skip it intentionally, but noticed later.

I purchased this one, but haven't had time to install it:
