help with oil change when using oil extractor..

just wondering if someone would be willing to help me do an oil change on my 335i since it would be my first time on a bmw, and i don't really want to mess up.

i have changed my oil on my mbenz, and audi's but always had someone there on the side just in case, and i use a mityvac oil extractor.

if you can help me, dinner/6-pack of beer is on me.

Many a DIY on oil changes; it's easy. You won't be able to use an oil exchanger BTW. Get the oil change kit from Tischer w/ the oil filter cap tool and have at it. The copper washer that comes with the oil filter goes on the OIL DRAIN BOLT not in the oil filter housing. (somebody actually did that last week)

+1, and there's no dipstick from which to extract the oil.
