How do I change the oil on my BMW 5 Series?

What are the specific steps and tools needed to perform an oil change on a BMW 5 Series? I've heard that it can be more complicated than a regular oil change on other cars.

To change the oil on your BMW 5 Series, you will need to have an oil filter wrench, the correct oil filter, a new oil filter gasket, a socket wrench, and the correct type and amount of oil for your specific engine. Make sure to also have an oil pan and some old rags on hand.

First, locate the oil filter under your car and place the oil pan underneath it. Use the oil filter wrench to remove the old oil filter. Then, use the socket wrench to remove the oil drain plug on the oil pan. Let all of the old oil drain out completely.
