I looked into these last year. One additional issue is the recess where the drain plugs go. This is why the drain plugs require an Allen Key rather than a straight hex nut. (As an example the ECS magnetic drain plugs won't work.)
The E9X M3 has been out for 10 years now. Many mechanically savvy people have considered using these valves, but are hesitant for good reason.
The aircraft field also has some options for quick drain valves, but I could not find a system that would work.
