Oil Filter Location?

[MJstratilatis]

Hello!

I've recently bought a 2013 BMW X5 xDrive50i and I'm yet to find the location of the engine oil filter?

can you help me find it?




Thanks in advance.

It's on the very bottom. Close to the drain plug. There is a round cut out in the stiffener plate to access it.

Ditto...BMW changed the location of the oil filter reservoir on the N62 & N63 V8s from decades of usually being up top...to being below...down by the drain plug.

You can see the oil filter location in the illustration below from the parts database:
