Looks good. On my zuk I started with a hose that was, in retrospect, too long. It's cheap and I just bought too much. I gradually shortened it to the point that it is just long enough to direct the oil down to the drain pan. When the hot oil goes through it it softens making the oil go more down. I just tuck it up when done. I have a frame hole to go into. On your 135i I think it would just put it inside the underpan and put the trap door back.

I've found it easy to move the little lever even several years and tens of thousands of miles after installation.
