Next to the oil cap under a black guard.
Most European cars use a cartridge type oil filter. It's on the top of the engine, usually near the power steering reservoir. Use the proper oil filter cap wrench to remove the cap and filter assembly. Replace the cartridge and related seals, and install a little more than hand tight. You need to remove the filter before draining the oil pan, or the oil contained in the filter housing will not be changed.
To change the oil filter on a 2003 BMW X5, first ensure the engine is cool and the vehicle is securely lifted. Drain the old oil using a wrench to remove the oil drain plug, then locate the oil filter, which is typically situated near the oil pan. Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old filter, applying a little oil to the rubber gasket of the new filter before installing it. Finally, replace the drain plug, refill the engine with new oil through the oil filler cap, and check for leaks.
Turn it counterclockwise to remove.

There is a large plastic cover under the hood covering the engine. On right side it says "oil filter". Under that is the oil filter. You need to remove the 4 bolts holding on the plastic cover and then remove the cap to the oil filter (with an oil filter wrench). The oil filter is inside. The cap does not get replaced.

BMW uses an upstairs filter, meaning the filter is not located under the car, but instead under the hood.For 1995 and older it is located between the engine head and alternator, directly behind the upper radiator hose. It should have a metal cap, held down with a 13mm bolt. Some do use a plastic cap.For 1996 and newer, it is in the same location, but with a plastic cap instead of a metal cap/bolt. You will need a filter wrench to remove this cap
