DIY for 2L turbo?
Can one change the oil on a 2016 2l turbo without raising the car? Like can one suck up the oil via the dipstick and is the oil filter easily gotten to?

Love the "yes" answer. I've always DIY'd my 2002 325 and 2005 Z4 with the mighty vac (after the 4 year warranty period), and now I can do the same once my factory ordered 2017 C300 coupe arrives. And, perhaps another question:
Unlike BMW, MB doesn't offer free oil/filter changes during the warranty period, so in case I have to show MB that I have routinely changed oil/filter every year (only do 5-6K/year) to maintain warranty protection without a hassle, what do I need to show MB that such changes were made? Receipts for the Mobile1 0w40 and the appropriate filter?

I prefer electric pumps. I use this one on my Ford:

I haven't used it on the C450 yet. I'm not sure how accessible the oil filter is on the W205. On my Ford I can just reach under the front bumper, grab it, and remove it by hand. I'll have to take a look at the engine compartment on MB and see where it's at.
