Hi to All!
This is my first time to do an oil change. I searched the DIY section and I saw an oil change DIY for a 535i. Is the oil filter and drain plug location the same as the 545i? What is the torque for the drain plug and oil filter? Any input is very much appreciated. Thank you!

I've done two DIY oil changes on my 545i using the following instructions for a 550i...
