Thanks!

My '16 340i required removal of the engine cover (NBD).... but the oil filter housing was wedged in there pretty good, cockeyed, and a pain in the ass to get to. I still did it, but it irritated me every time.

This car is all done from the bottom..... but is a piece of cake by comparison.

I probably "could" have done it without jacks if I really wanted do, so long as I was absolutely sure I had every tool I needed, and wouldn't have to keep getting out from under the car, back under, back out, etc.
