Heres my step by step guide for doing an oil change on an F30 (B48/B58 engine): Tools needed: - 17mm socket for drain plug - 36mm socket for oil filter cap - Oil catch pan - 6.5L of BMW LL-04 approved 5W-30 oil - New oil filter (Mann HU6004z) - New drain plug washer Steps: 1. Warm up engine for 5 minutes 2. Lift car on jack stands 3. Remove undertray (8mm socket) 4. Remove drain plug, let oil drain for 15 min 5. Remove oil filter cap, replace filter 6. Replace drain plug with new washer 7. Fill with 6L oil, check level 8. Start engine, check for leaks 9. Top up to correct level on dipstick 10. Reset service indicator in iDrive Total cost: about 80 EUR vs 250 EUR at the dealer.

Try doing an adaptation reset. Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes, then reconnect. The ECU will relearn the new intake characteristics.
