I'm glad you found it! However 3.0 X5's Have a GM transmission and the 4.4 and up X5 have a ZF transmission thus the discrepancies.

I think 3.0 is different than 4.4. The drain plug is under the pan, front and more on the passenger side as in the DIY article but the fill plug is on the driver side, not on the pan, it is right above the pan, hexagon plug size 17. I and my brother were nervous for awhile because we did not see the fill plug. I will upload the pictures from my phone later to help you see more clearly.
