Which oil filter wrench.

[M5Rick]

Not having much luck with dealers and can't wait a while for job to be done so decided to do my own oil/filter change.
I'm trying to find the suitable oil filter wrench and so far it's all a miss affair.
I know they are 86mm and 16 flats but can't get a definite reply from some retailers.Anyone know what is the correct tool for these and where from?
Thanks.

Cheers mate but I've just found genuine BMW item 119240.just waiting on them to confirm it's the one after giving chassis no...it's not easy finding and the cheap one's won't go through the under engine plate hole because of the strengthening turn at end.

Thanks for that but think that amazon one is too small, should be 86mm and 16 flutes as far as I know. As above,waiting for ok from retailer.

Ive got a choice of two hydraulic jacks also not ramps but flat wide pieces of wood that will be stable platform resting the car on the wheels.
Got message now that my dealer is now open but just have to wait too long for service so its this way.

After doing the oil/filter change with the front wheels rested on flat wooden blocks so no danger of car falling off jack/axle stands. The BMW filter wrench tool fitted perfectly and unscrewed slowly to let the excess drain off slowly before removing or oil will go all over the place, the new filter clicks into place.
It takes about 1.5 hours to drain off completely so not a quick job, then to finish an electronic level check on flat ground with engine running in N topping up to full mark.
The rear diff oil was done 8k miles ago so not needed for a while.
