Where do you extract from, oil filter housing or dipstick holder? I am assuming through the oil filter housing , but just wanted to clarify. On our X3 the oil pan plug is ata weird angle and so when it flows out it can create a messy mess. Like most , I extract and I normaly go through the dipstick holder to extract the BMW, but never gave it a thought to use the Oil filter housing to extract.
