then i am confused on the 4.4
my local bmw mechanic showed me on a 4.4 in the bay when he was working on a 4.4 where the filter was, then I said mine is a 4.8.. he then said yea yours is a m62? engine and its underneath. he may have been working on a 4.4 without valvetronic, when we was attempting to show me that is was up top. chucker

Man, I wish I saw this post yesterday. I could not find my filter on my 4.4. I ended up removing the steel plate under the engine. I figured that the filter was behind that since I couldn't see it from below. After removing both wheels, to get to the shield nuts, and still not seeing the filter. I swore that I would NEVER do an oil change again. Until I finally saw that the damn filter is behind the driver headlight in plan sight. A 20minute job turned into an hour and a half. Anyways life and learn, Rob

It's too bad BMW is putting the filter below the car now. I really like the filter right out in front under the hood.
