Best Place to buy Oil Change kit?
Any recommendations?
Some places vary in type of oil... Some come with a replacement drain plug and some do not.. Kinda confusing... ECS https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...11427640862kt/ GETBMWPARTS https://www.getbmwparts.com/partloca...catalogid=4462 https://www.getbmwparts.com/partloca...catalogid=4462 OW-30 vs 5w30?? |

I've always got my oil change service kits from ECS for Mercedes and BMW. Been shopping with them for years and they provide OEM parts. Highly recommended.

If you have a 4-Cylinder engine, then replacement drain plug should be included with the filter. Those cars have a plastic oil pan and plastic drain plug and the drain plugs are supposed to be for single use. 6-cylinder engine is a metal pan/drain plug and you can re-use the drain plug.
I've bought oil change kits from getbmwparts in the past, but recently switched to using Liqui-Moly 5W30 Special Tech oil (it's BMW LL01 certified) and noticed less "clatter" from my N20 engine (the 4 cylinder "normal" sound is like a diesel engine when first running cold). I bought it through bavauto along with their filter kit (which included a replacement drain plug).

Amazon
I am using PP EURO 5W-40 and found on Amazon for $7 then purchase 10 Mann Oil Filters at discount as well. Love ECS for their website and Bavauto & Getbmwparts but there are cheaper alternatives if you piece it together yourself.

Thanks for the advice guys. Any place you can recommend for me to buy the tool needed to remove the oil filter? Besides that I guess I need an oil pan and then I should be good to go?

You're just changing the oil - you need: OIL FILTER
