The X3 oil location plastic flap on the under tray didn't seem like it was large enough to allow draining, but it was fine.
Don't forget to mark the oil cap to line up later when you are tightening ( if you don't have a torque wrench and know the value).
You may be able to find out how much oil it takes by either using the on board user manual or asking autozone or the BMW service counter for how many quarts to buy and fill.
Good luck and take pictures to post here!

Thanks for the additional info! That's the sort of stuff I was hoping for.

Actually I will have coverage up to Jan 2018, but once I have to pay, I'll do it myself.

Are there preferred oil / filter brands? And dealers for those?
