I concur with Dave up there. If you are buying a catch pan, better to get one that isnt enclosed up top and pitched into a hole. I cannot tell you how many times I've let that plug go and HOT oil starts flowing and as the oil hits the pan and starts creeping up past the reservoir until you notice the oil isn't going into the tank fast enough and then you reach into the hot oil and try to clear the blockage from the hole. Just get a pan with a big tank and is just open up top.

And what Dave was saying about the filter is right too. But don't get it off E-bay unless it says OEM from BMW factory. Best to just get it at the dealer. By the time you pick it up on e-bay and pay for shipping, it negates the cost of just getting it at the dealer.
