Great write up 42! BMW's are the easiest cars to change the oil on. The filter being located up top makes it a lot easier too. I change my 535 In about 20-25 min. My wife used to have Lexus IS350 and the filter went into the side of the engine block underneath. It was a SOB to get out. Lexus wanted to sell me a $40 wrench just to remove the filter. I said whatever and used a adjustable band oil filter wrench.

I'm OCD like and like to clean the inside of my filter casing. Glad you said to add a little oil to the new rubber O ring. I've seen some on the forum start having an oil leak on their filter cap because the rubber O ring wrinkled or got chewed up upon tightening.
