First oil change 128i

I am about to do the first oil change on my 128i (E82). This is hugely informative, so thank you all who contributed! I will certainly have this thread pulled up on my droid while doing this oil change.

I have never changed the oil on a high-end vehicle (only my previous honda/dodge pieces of sh*t that I grew up with), so naturally I am a bit nervous having only owned the car for it's previous 3K miles.

Any additional tips? I am wondering how the draining will be, since I don't have a lift - just a jack. Any specific advice on jacking the car? I am fairly mechanically inclined, so I'm pretty confident with the workflow/step-by-step of the oil change. thanks all
