Where is the oil filter in 2012 X5 35i engine.

Our 2012 X5 35i just reached 5000miles and the oil turned to whole black by observing from oil cap. The car runs flawless so far and we may want to keep it for long time(4+ yrs), it's probably not bad ideal to change the oil in between BMW recommended 15000 miles.

However, when looking the engine bay, I am not sure where is oil filter located, the DIY guide for old engine shows the oil filter can be removed by 36mm socket, it doesn't appear to be the case in 2012 35i engine.

Anyone has any idea?
