Hi.
I'm planning to do my first oil change on my 335i this weekend. If anyone has any experience with any of the following questions, I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts!

1) Is there a front/center jack point? In my E46, I was able to lift both front wheels using my floor jack at a central point (a round protrusion behind the bottom cover).

2) I plan to lift the car enough to place my pair of Rhino ramps under the wheels AND some jack stands under the side lift pads, and chock the rear wheels. I've never tried just driving up onto the ramps, but wonder if this is an easy/safe thing to do in lieu of lifting the front end.

3) I've read a N55 DIY which suggests lower the car back to level to complete the drainage. Has anyone had experience with this, and found it to be necessary?

4) I've seen both 6.5 liters and 7.0 liters as the recommended fill for an N55 motor. Maybe it has to do with question #3 above? Any input from those who've already done this?

Thanks in advance!
