I bought my 535i used about 10 months ago and just rolled through 50K, so I am going to do an oil change

- No dipstick
- No indication in the owner's manual of the oil capacity
- Oil filter socket from e46 doesn't even remotely fit F10 (nor does my LR4 wrench).

WTF BMW??

Just needed to vent

EDIT: And the filter socket required (86mm) is not a standard size. I checked at AutoZone and Advance Auto, looked on Summit Racing online. Ten or twelve sizes available up to 93mm, but not 86mm.

WTF BMW?!
